IDENTIFICATION OF SHARED GENE EXPRESSION PROGRAMS ACTIVATED IN MULTIPLE MODES OF TORPOR ACROSS VERTEBRATE CLADES

Identification of shared gene expression programs activated in multiple modes of torpor across vertebrate clades

Abstract Torpor encompasses diverse adaptations to extreme environmental stressors such as hibernation, aestivation, Hawthorn brumation, and daily torpor.Here we introduce StrokeofGenus, an analytic pipeline that identifies distinct transcriptomic states and shared gene expression patterns across studies, tissues, and species.We use StrokeofGenus t
