introduction: in iran, invasive nontyphoidal salmonella (ints) disease causes severe bacteremic illness among children <5 years old. the global yearly incidence of ints disease in children was reported to be in the 3.4 (range  2.1-6.5) million cases,  (overall incidence 49 cases (range 30-94) per 100,000 population), the ints case-fatality ratio (cfr) of 20% yielded 681,316  deaths annually. me...

an important aspect of microarray studies includes the prediction of patient survival based on their gene expression profile. to deal with the high dimensionality of this data, use of a dimension reduction procedure along with the survival prediction model is necessary. this study aimed to present a new method based on wavelet transform for survival relevant gene selection.the data included 204...

background: the microarray technology is in needed of cost-effective, low background noise and stable substrates for successful hybridization and analysis. methods: in this research, we developed a three-dimentional stable and mechanically reliable microarray substrates by coating of two polymeric layers on standard microscope glass slides. for fabrication of these substrates, a thin film of ox...

diffuse large b-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-hodgkin lymphoma. micrornas (mirnas) are endogenous small rna, which can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. mirna profiling has shown a great potential as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. the present study was performed at the nemazee teaching hospital (shiraz, iran) from 2011 to 2013.the aim of thi...

Identifying genes underlying complex diseases/traits that generally involve multiple etiological mechanisms and contributing genes is difficult. Although microarray technology has enabled researchers to investigate gene expression changes, but identifying pathobiologically relevant genes remains a challenge. To address this challenge, we apply a new method for selecting the disease-relevant gen...

dna microarrays consist of collection of dna microscopic spots that in order to form an array attached to a solid surface such as glass, plastic or silicon chip. the pieces of fixed dna considered as a searcher. in this technology it is possible to test sample against thousands probes for specific genes. with this ability, arrays accelerate the biological investigations, gene finding, molecular...
