Recovery time-series after increasing heat-stress exposures in Caenorhabditis elegans measured by microarray

Increased exposure to heat-stress leads to an increasingly altered transcriptome in Caenorhabditis elegans. It is however unclear how the recovery from heat-stress progresses after increased heat-stress exposures. Hence, we exposed populations of the N2 strain to a 2, 3, 4, or 6 hour heat-shock of 35 degrees Celsius and took samples from 1 - 4 hours after termination of stress. This experiment was conduced in three biological replicates
