Gliopathic Bang Sensitive Siezure Common Expression

In order to identify common gene expression across other gliopathic bang senstiive genes (i.e. genes that when knocked down or over expressed by repo-GAL4 cause seizures) we crossed six UAS-RNAi or UAS-over-expression lines for known bang senstive genes to repo-GAL4. We pooled total RNA from brains of these animals in equal amounts and ran microarray analysis to search for transcripts that are common among these six seizure associated genes.
