Recovery from heat-stress time series in Caenorhabditis elegans measured by microarray

After measuring the transcriptional response to increasing exposure of Caenorhabditis elegans N2 to 35 degrees Celsius, we wondered how recovery from heat-stress would progress. Hence, we exposed populations of the N2 strain to a 2 hour heat-shock of 35 degrees Celsius and took samples from 0 - 7 hours after termination of stress. This experiment was conduced in three biological replicates.
