Genome-Wide Analysis of Intergenic Regions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv Using Affymetrix GeneChips
Sequencing the complete genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv is a major milestone in the genome project and it sheds new light in our fight with tuberculosis. The genome contains around 4000 genes (protein-coding sequences) in the original genome annotation. A subsequent reannotation of the genome has added 80 more genes. However, we have found that the intergenic regions can exhibit expr...
متن کاملGene filtering by PCA for Affymetrix GeneChips
Due to the nature of the array experiments which examine the expression of tens of thousands of genes (or probesets) simultaneously, the number of null hypotheses to be tested is large. Hence multiple testing correction is often necessary to control the number of false positives. However, multiple testing correction can lead to low statistical power in detecting genes that are truly differentia...
متن کاملModelling background intensity in Affymetrix Genechips
DNA microarrays are devices that are able, in principle, to detect and quantify the presence of specific nucleic acid sequences in complex biological mixtures. The measurement consists in detecting fluorescence signals from several spots on the microarray surface onto which different probe sequences are grafted. One of the problems of the data analysis is that the signal contains a noisy backgr...
متن کاملA STUDY OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS DRUG RESISTANCE IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in both developing and developed countries. Drug-resistant tuberculosis is an increasing health problem and serious challenge to tuberculosis (TB) control programs. Information about the susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates against anti-tuberculosis drugs is an important aspect to TB control. The objectives of the s...
متن کاملDetection of second-line drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis using oligonucleotide microarrays
BACKGROUND The steady rise in the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) requires rapid and reliable methods to identify resistant strains. The current molecular methods to detect MTB resistance to second-line drugs either do not cover an extended spectrum of mutations to be identified or are not easily implemented in clinical la...
