摘要:
The invention relates to a method for quantitatively determining the methylation rate of a nucleic acid through sequencing. According to the invention, the method comprises at least the following steps: a) treating the nucleic acid with a chemical reagent or an enzyme containing solution, whereby the base pairing behavior of methylated cytosine bases and/or unmethylated cytosine bases of the nucleic acid are altered such that methylated cytosine bases become distinguishable from unmethylated cytosine bases, and b) introducing into the nucleic acid at least one base for generating a sequencing signal to be used as a reference signal for normalization, and c) sequencing the nucleic acid, whereby a signal from each cytosine base of the nucleic acid, or a signal from each guanine base of the nucleic acid and a reference signal from the at least on introduced base is obtained, and d) normalizing the signal obtained from each cytosine base of the nucleic acid, or the signal obtained from each guanine base of the nucleic acid to the reference signal from the at least one introduced base.
摘要:
A method for the analysis of cytosine methylations in DNA is described. Here, the DNA to be investigated is first chemically or enzymatically converted. Then a promoter is introduced into the DNA. After this, the DNA is converted to RNA. The methylation pattern of the DNA can be concluded in different ways by means of an analysis of the RNA. The RNA is preferably fragmented chemically or enzymatically prior to the analysis, whereby the fragmenting results depend on the methylation pattern of the DNA. The method according to the invention is particularly suitable for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer disorders and other diseases associated with a modification of the methylation pattern.
摘要:
A multimodal biometric method is provided for authenticating at least one user, in which at least one user is assigned to one of at least two classes, in which similarity measures are used that are measures of the similarity of biometric data, determined for the user, to reference data for one of the classes, in which a overall statistical statement on the user's membership of the class is present for each of the at least two classes as a function of the similarity measure, in which the overall statistical statement for each of the at least two classes results from the combination of the statistical statements of at least two individual biometries for the respective class, the statistical statements of the individual biometries being statistical statements on the user's membership of the class as a function of the similarity measures, and in which the user is assigned to one of at least two classes when a specific assignment criterion is fulfilled.
摘要:
The present invention describes a method for the detection of nucleic acid sequences, which is characterized in that the following steps are conducted: a) at least one nucleic acid is bound to a solid phase; b) probe molecules are hybridized to the nucleic acids in a sequence-specific manner, whereby the probe molecules are provided with a cleavable bond and a mass label, which is specific for the probe molecule; c) removal of the unhybridized probe molecules; d) contacting of the hybridized probe molecules with a matrix, which cleaves said cleavable bonds and at the same time serves as the matrix in a MALDI mass spectrometer; e) detection of the mass label at those positions where the nucleic acid was bound.
摘要:
A device for hanging a load on a helicopter has at least one load-bearing cable which has a first cable section, which is off-center in relation to a longitudinal axis of the helicopter, and a second off-center cable section located opposite. The load-bearing cable is connected to the helicopter, on the one hand, and to the load, on the other hand. Ends and of the load-bearing cable are fixedly attached to the helicopter, and the load-bearing cable is connected to the load in a manner in which it can be moved relative to the latter, such that the load can be displaced along the load-bearing cable.
摘要:
A cartridge filter has a filter element and a frame formed of plates. The plates are installable around the filter element and are interconnectable in the area of the sides of the plates. The plates have plug-in connection members which interact with corresponding plug-in connection members of adjacent plates to thereby affix the plates to one another.
