Dr Gilchrist said: «This study suggests that we may improve
significantly on the widely used analysis methods for determining
gene expression levels from
high throughput sequence data: absolute quantitation offers a much sounder basis for determining changes in
gene expression level, a measure widely used to determine the consequence of genetic, chemical or physical disturbances in living systems.»
Excluding
genes with homology evidence for immune function, 42.24 % of induced
genes encode proteins with bioinformatic evidence for a signal peptide, a

However, when we extracted
gene expression levels from the brain transcriptome data following the methodology in Carneiro et al. [29], we found that levels of nucleotide diversity and the proportion of low frequency variants between lowly (bottom 5 %) and highly (top 5 %) expressed
genes in our dataset (Table S7) were not
significantly different in most comparisons (with the exception of π in O. c. cuniculus) nor did they consistently differ in the expected direction when assuming
higher error rates in lowly expressed
genes.

highest health priority to selection against heritable disorders that
significantly decrease quality of life and that have the greatest likelihood for improvement through careful breeding decisions.
