Glass slides to DNA microarrays
نویسنده
چکیده
on genomics, became aware of the potential commercial, technical, and social importance of the human genome project during the late 1990s. The human genome project was formally initiated in 19901 and was expected to last 15 years. It had the major goals of identifying all the genes in human DNA, determining the sequences of those genes, and storing the information in public databases. However, the project moved quickly from the onset and, by 1998, the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) predicted that the human genome project would be completed by 2003.

An Efficient Covalent Coating on Glass Slides for Preparation of Optical Oligonucleotide Microarrays
Objective(s): Microarrays are potential analyzing tools for genomics and proteomics researches, which is in needed of suitable substrate for coating and also hybridization of biomolecules. Materials and Methods: In this research, a thin film of oxidized agarose was prepared on the glass slides which previously coated with poly-L-lysine (PLL). Some of the aldehyde groups of the activated aga...
متن کاملDendrimeric coating of glass slides for sensitive DNA microarrays analysis.
Successful use and reliability of microarray technology is highly dependent on several factors, including surface chemistry parameters and accessibility of cDNA targets to the DNA probes fixed onto the surface. Here, we show that functionalisation of glass slides with homemade dendrimers allow production of more sensitive and reliable DNA microarrays. The dendrimers are nanometric structures of...
متن کاملFunctionalization of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a substrate for DNA microarrays.
A chemical procedure was developed to functionalize poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates. PMMA is reacted with hexamethylene diamine to yield an aminated surface for immobilizing DNA in microarrays. The density of primary NH2 groups was 0.29 nmol/cm2. The availability of these primary amines was confirmed by the immobilization of DNA probes and hybridization with a complementary DNA stra...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Comparative Microarray Experiments
This chapter discusses the design and analysis of relatively simple comparative experiments involving microarrays. Some of the discussion applies to all the most widely used kinds of microarrays, that is, radiolabelled cDNA arrays on nylon membranes, two-color, fluorescently labeled cDNA or long oligonucleotide arrays on glass slides, or single color, fluorescently labeled, high-density short o...
متن کاملAn inexpensive and simple method for thermally stable immobilization of DNA on an unmodified glass surface: UV linking of poly(T)10-poly(C)10-tagged DNA probes.
Microarrays printed on glass slides are often constructed by covalently linking modified oligonucleotide probes to a derivatized surface at considerable expense. In this article, we demonstrate that 14-base oligonucleotides with a poly(T)10 - poly(C)10 tail (TC tag), but otherwise unmodified, can be linked by UV light irradiation onto a plain, unmodified glass surface. Probes immobilized onto u...
متن کاملEscherichia coli O antigen typing using DNA microarrays.
DNA microarrays were developed for rapid identification of different serogroups of Escherichia coli in a single platform. Oligonucleotides, as well as PCR products from genes in the O antigen gene clusters of E. coli serogroups O7, O104, O111, and O157 were spotted onto glass slides. This was followed by hybridization with labeled long PCR products of the entire O antigen gene clusters of these...
