gene expression variant

Variations in the processes that convert a gene's sequence into a mature gene product or products (proteins or RNA), compared to control.

pattern of gene expression variant

Any variation in the cellular or subcellular distribution of a gene product compared to that observed in control animals.

obsolete reporter gene expression variant

OBSOLETE.

pathogen induced antimicrobial gene expression variant

Changes in the levels of innate immune gene products in response to pathogen exposure are significantly different from that observed in control animals.

antimicrobial gene expression reduced

Animals exhibit a decrease in the expression of one or more known, endogenous, antimicrobial genes, compared to controls.

antimicrobial gene expression variant

Animals exhibit variations in the expression of one or more known, endogenous, antimicrobial genes, compared to controls.

antimicrobial gene expression increased

Animals exhibit an increase in the expression of one or more known, endogenous, antimicrobial genes, compared to controls.

obsolete pattern of reporter gene expression variant

OBSOLETE.

obsolete level of reporter gene expression variant

OBSOLETE.

maintenance of gene silencing variant

Animals differ from controls in the expression of genes targeted for silencing (gene inactivation) in subsequent generations via transcriptional or post-transcriptional processes.
