Sleep Study
The Allen Institute partnered with SRI International to examine the effects of sleep deprivation and sleep state in mice. Approximately 200 genes were assayed in this study. The experimental conditions include:
| Code | Condition |
|---|---|
| SD | Sleep-deprived for 6 hours (ZT0-ZT6) |
| SD-C | Time of day control for sleep-deprivation (ZT6) |
| RS | Recovery sleep (4 hours) following 6 hours of sleep deprivation (ZT6-ZT10) |
| RS-C | Time of day control for recovery sleep (ZT10) |
| W | Waking (ZT18) |

Mouse Strains Study
The Mouse Strains Study (previously known as the Mouse Diversity Study) provides gene expression data from a select number of genes across seven different mouse strains and in adult female C57BL/6J mice, expanding upon the original Allen Mouse Brain Atlas.
To view data in this study, select “Mouse Strains” from the “Related Studies” drop-down menu in the banner.
To search this data, either click on the gene symbol in the tag cloud to bring up all the data related to that gene, or type in your gene (from the tag cloud) and filter your search by strain, gender and/or plane of sectioning and click “Search”.
