Characteristic attributes in cancer microarrays

Rapid advances in genome sequencing and gene expression microarray technologies are providing unprecedented opportunities to identify specific genes involved in complex biological processes, such as development, signal transduction, and disease. The vast amount of data generated by these technologies has presented new challenges in bioinformatics. To help organize and interpret microarray data,...

Nutrition and Cancer: Dr. Douglas Wilson - Honoured

Historical, current and future aspects of the potential value of ‘phyto-oestrogens’ and lifestyle in lowering the risk of endocrine cancer, and high-lighting the crucial importance of global policy makers in providing the means for a healthier diet, is the purport of this paper. Early studies in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and S.W. Australia demonstrated the potential value of oestrogen-like dietary ...

Functional Basis of Microorganism Classification

Correctly identifying nearest "neighbors" of a given microorganism is important in industrial and clinical applications where close relationships imply similar treatment. Microbial classification based on similarity of physiological and genetic organism traits (polyphasic similarity) is experimentally difficult and, arguably, subjective. Evolutionary relatedness, inferred from phylogenetic mark...

Voltammetric measurement of microorganism populations

A voltammetric biosensor was developed for the assay of microorganism populations. A tetracycline-modified glassy carbon electrode was used in the construction of the biosensor and an electrochemical cell with an elastic base was employed in the measurement. The possible mechanism of the electrode response was discussed. The determination limit of the microbial populations was 2–5 × 104 cells w...
