This data set was generated concurrently with the VCU saline prefrontal cortex BXD RMA data and therefore consisted of 64 microarrays processed in 5 groups of 8 to 16 microarrays during the month of September 2006. All RNA extractions, cRNA synthesis, and hybridizations were randomized across strain and treatment groups to minimize batch effects.
Many of the techniques used to generate this data set are described in a recent publication in the Journal of Neuroscience.
