They compared
the resulting gene expression patterns in all the parrot brains with neural tracing experiments in budgerigars.

Results show that one night of partial sleep deprivation activates
gene expression patterns in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) consistent with increasing accumulation of damage that initiates cell cycle arrest and increases susceptibility to senescence.
Then, they compared the
patterns of
gene expression in the
resulting neurons with cells taken from autopsied brains.
«The authors went on to study the
resulting blastocysts for aneuploidy (frequency of abnormal chromosomes), and
pattern of
gene expression (which
genes are active and at what level).
Since there is a higher than 95 % chance that cluster assignments are accurate (Supplemental File S2), and our validation analysis shows that 90.7 % of the array
expression patterns match the RNA analysis
results using other techniques (e.g., Q - PCR), we estimate that more than 86 % of the
genes in a cluster follow the corresponding average
expression profile.
«And that most probably
resulted from a change in the
pattern of Hox
gene expression,» says Böhmer.
