Abstract excerpt
A cDNA microarray-assisted experiment was conducted to survey genes that respond early to heat shock in enriched immature porcine germ cells; the 5'-UTR flanking the highest upregulated gene, heat shock 105/110 kDa protein 1 (Hsph1 or Hsp105), in response to heat shock was also investigated. We established a porcine testis cDNA microarray with 9944 transcripts from two libraries constructed from the testes of...
