Forensic Context

A study in human postmortem nucleus accumbens tissue identified that the SMAD5-AS1 was represented on Affymetrix U133 arrays and was expressed in most but not all subjects, with a trend towards a group-wise difference between heroin abusers and drug-free controls [Michelhaugh et al. DOI:10.1111/J.1471-4159.2010.07126.X].
