News Finding: When the creosote was a new addition to the diet of individual N.bryanti woodrats, they had different reactions.
Paper Finding: The effective gene number with greater expression in N. bryanti was 20.7, whereas the effective gene number for N. lepida was 14.4.
News Context: We expected a huge list of genes -- instead we found very few." When the creosote was a new addition to the diet of individual N.bryanti woodrats, they had different reactions. They exhibited signs of severe stress, showing that because they hadn't been exposed to the diet, the genes to detoxify it hadn't been switched on.
Paper Context: The effective gene numbers also reflect this pattern. The effective gene number with greater expression in N. bryanti was 20.7, whereas the effective gene number for N. lepida was 14.4. In experienced N. bryanti, transcripts with the greatest expression were related to conjugation of metabolites with glucuronic acid (different glucuronosyltransferases) followed by those related to conjugation with glutathione (glutathione S-transferases; Table 5 ).
