We thank Thomas G. Doak, David A. Nix, Craig A. Pierson, Brian K. Dalley and Chad Huff for their insights and assistance, two anonymous reviewers for their constructive advice, and the Microarray Core of the Huntsman Cancer Institute for their high-throughput sequencing services.
We thank Linda Manley for technical assistance with the laboratory animals, Linda Solfjell for molecular bioengineering, Aaste Aursjø for immunohistochemistry handcraft, Anne Kilsund Axelssen for all bacteriological work, and the FUGE funded Microarray Core Facility for providing gene expression services.
Amplified RNA was given to the Boston Children's Hospital microarray core facility for hybridization to GeneChip Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 gene expression arrays (Affymetrix, USA) for hybridization and imaging as per manufacturer protocols.
We thank UCLA microarray core facility for array services.
The labeled RNAs (15 ug each) was subsequently fragmented and sent to UCLA microarray core facility for array hybridization and scanning.
We thank Coenraad Kuijl, Lauran Oomen and Lenny Brocks for assistance with confocal microscopy and immunofluorescence analysis, and members of the NKI microarray core facility for assistance with the microarray analysis.
The authors would like to thank Dr. Bruce O'Hara for valuable advice regarding sleep studies and critical reading of the manuscript, Dr. Arny Stromberg for helpful discussion about statistical approaches, and Dr. Kuey Chu Chen and Donna Wall in the UK microarray core facility for their excellent work producing/curating microarray data.
We acknowledge the UC, Davis SOM Microarray Core Facility for technical support.
We would like to thank Dr. G. Ostrow from Microarray Core (Genomics Division, UF Shands Cancer Center) for help with Affymetrix chip analysis.
