Gene expression profiling of rudhira null embryo and yolk sac at 9.5 dpc

Rudhira is essential for mouse developmental angiogenesis and tissue morphogenesis. Embryos lacking endothelial rudhira die at mid-gestation with vascular patterning defects. Rudhira mutant yolk sac endothelial cells show slow and random migration. So to identify key signaling pathways perturbed in the absence of rudhira, we undertook whole transcriptome based analysis of gene expression in rudhira null yolk sac and embryo.
