Tiling arrays reveal plant circadian RNAs
Genome tiling arrays uncover extensive circadian-regulated transcription across the Arabidopsis genome.
Source
Exploring the transcriptional landscape of plant circadian rhythms using genome tiling arrays
What they did
Sampled a 2-day circadian time course at 4-hour resolution on whole-genome tiling arrays.
What they found
Known clock genes cycle as expected; many additional exons/ncRNA features show circadian rhythms.
The limits
What it doesn't show
Two-day series limits period precision versus longer time courses.
