摘要:
An interactive computer program generates a composite dot matrix representation of secondary structure elements from a set of functionally related oligonucleotides. The composite image facilitates visual detection of conserved secondary structure motifs with similar sequence sets. The complete pattern displaying all possible base pairings can be readily pruned with two progressive filters to provide the user with a simplified figure displaying only the most stable and conserved regions. Additional simplification of the structure matrix image can be achieved by eliminating mutually exclusive structures. Alignment editing provided within the program facilitates refinement of the consensus secondary structure.

摘要:
The present application includes biomarkers, methods, devices, reagents, systems, and kits for the detection and diagnosis of lung cancer. In one aspect, the application provides biomarkers that can be used alone or in various combinations to diagnose lung cancer or permit the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules as benign or malignant. In another aspect, methods are provided for diagnosing lung cancer in an individual, where the methods include detecting, in a biological sample from an individual, at least one biomarker value corresponding to at least one biomarker selected from the group of biomarkers provided in Table 18, Table 20, or Table 21, wherein the individual is classified as having lung cancer, or the likelihood of the individual having lung cancer is determined, based on the at least one biomarker value.

摘要:
The invention provides nucleic acid ligands to hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF) and its receptor c-met. The nucleic acid ligands of the instant invention are isolated using the SELEX method. SELEX is an acronym for Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment. The nucleic acid ligands of the invention are useful as diagnostic and therapeutic agents for diseases in which elevated HGF and c-met activity are causative factors.
