OligoArray 2.0: design of oligonucleotide probes for DNA microarrays using a thermodynamic approach.
There is a substantial interest in implementing bioinformatics technologies that allow the design of oligonucleotides to support the development of microarrays made from short synthetic DNA fragments spotted or in situ synthesized on slides. Ideally, such oligonucleotides should be totally specific to their respective targets to avoid any cross-hybridization and should not form stable secondary...
متن کاملEvaluating the performance of oligonucleotide microarrays for bacterial strains with increasing genetic divergence from the reference strain.
DNA oligonucleotide microarrays (oligoarrays) are being developed continuously; however, several issues regarding the applicability of these arrays for whole-genome DNA-DNA strain comparisons (genomotyping) have not been investigated. For example, the extent of false negatives (i.e., no hybridization signal is observed when the amino acid sequence is conserved but the nucleotide sequence has di...

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 کاملGetting Started in Tiling Microarray Analysis
The availability of sequenced eukaryotic genomes and commercial oligonucleotide tiling microarrays has enabled many genomics applications. Different from expression microarrays, tiling microarrays have probes that cover the entire genome or contigs of the genome in an unbiased fashion. Currently three commercial sources provide tiling microarrays with different probe lengths and spacing, and ar...

Background Although spermatozoa delivers its RNA to oocytes at fertilization, its biological role is not well characterized. Our purpose was to identify the genes differentially and exclusively expressed in sperm samples both before and after the swim-up process in control donors and infertile males with the purpose to identify their functional significance in male fertility. MaterialsAndMethod...
