Similarly, genetic association studies between allelic variants of the resistin gene and metabolic abnormalities have so far been inconclusive.
The relative gene order in this region is also highly conserved in many bacteria, especially the Gram-positives [ 11 ] . Although intergenic sequences in this region are conserved only among closely related organisms, the DnaA box is found in the non-coding regions flanking dnaA in most bacteria studied [ 12 ] . DnaA boxes are conserved nucleotide sequences (TTGTCCACA) where the DnaA protein binds to DNA, triggering events that ultimately lead to replication initiation and DNA synthesis [ 9 ] .
Starting with 5000 signature genes, they narrowed down the gene pool to 231 genes by examining the correlation coefficient of each gene with the prognostic outcome.
Oligonucleotide microarrays provide the capacity to analyze parallel changes in many thousands of genes, and have been used successfully to examine expression profile changes in many neuronal and non-neuronal systems [ 7 ] including DRG neurons [ 8 9 ] . Studying the effect of peripheral nerve injury on gene expression profiles in the DRG offers several advantages.
As described earlier, the selection of some of the genes on this mouse testis array was based on results with human expression arrays, showing that our cross-species approach to gene selection is a viable means of identifying candidate genes for such tissue-specific arrays.
