25
Importance of GEO in Bittel's lab's hypothesis that Splicing is under-studied and may play large role along with gene expression in biliary atresia.
- Used GEO to re-analyzed data for scaRNA and splicing variation
- Proved that scaRNA levels change as zebrafish develop
- Proved that splicing isoforms exist
- Consistnet with hypothesis BUT doesn't prove it
- Opened door for funding for future projects
26
Most important point about Bittel's lab and GEO
Did not have to perform ANY experiments to prove findings and publish a paper
