Gene chips: Array of hope for understanding gene regulation
High density arrays of DNA fragments on a solid surface allow the expression of thousands of genes to be assessed in a single experiment. The development of this 'gene chip' technique heralds a new era of studies that promises to provide an integrated view of the expression of all genes of an organism.
متن کاملArray of hope for gene technology.
A Washington-based bioinformatics company is developing sophisticated DNA microarrays that should help researchers measure and analyze gene expression faster, more economically, and with greater precision than ever before possible. The FlexJet system, as the microarray product is known, uses inkjet technology to propel microscopic strands of DNA nucleotides onto slides, "printing" arrays of DNA...
متن کاملStudy of Gene Expression Signatures for the Diagnosis of Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Through Gene Expression Array Analyses
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as the most common malignancy in children is associated with high mortality and significant relapse. Currently, the non-invasive diagnosis of pediatric ALL is a main challenge in the early detection of patients. In the present study, a systems biology approach was used through network-based analysis to identify the key candidate genes related to AL...
متن کاملUnderstanding Tissue-Specific Gene Regulation.
Although all human tissues carry out common processes, tissues are distinguished by gene expression patterns, implying that distinct regulatory programs control tissue specificity. In this study, we investigate gene expression and regulation across 38 tissues profiled in the Genotype-Tissue Expression project. We find that network edges (transcription factor to target gene connections) have hig...
متن کاملUnderstanding the regulation of surfactant gene expression.
Among a number of biochemical and morphological criteria, alveolar type-II epithelial cells are defined by the synthesis of surfactant proteins. These molecules are implicated in numerous human diseases such as neonatal respiratory distress syndrome [1] and possibly acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [2], where a better understanding could lead to new therapeutic modalities via a target...
