Transcriptomic data from fetal placentas of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) exposed to gestational hypoxia. The dataset includes differential expression analysis for genes affected by population origin (low- and high-elevation) and gestational stage. It was created by Megan Hemmerlein and last updated on June 2, 2026.
Use Cases
- Identify genes differentially expressed in response to hypoxia based on population origin.
- Analyze transcriptional plasticity and genetic assimilation in placental adaptation.
- Investigate metabolic pathway divergence, particularly mitochondrial pathways, between lowland and highland mice.
- Compare gene expression patterns conserved across early and mid-pregnancy stages.
Strengths
- Data is structured in three distinct tabs focusing on conserved genes and stage-specific differential expression.
- The dataset is 11.1 MB in size and available in XLSX format.
- It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open reuse.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
