    摘要: The present invention provides systems and methods for determining the cell type composition of a mixed cell population. The invention provides systems and methods for identifying and defining pure cell type specific signatures. These pure cell type specific signatures may be used to determine the cell type composition of a mixed cell population. The systems and methods of the invention may be used for a variety of research and clinical purposes. For example, they may be used to detect the presence or absence of cells of particular types, and to determine whether variations in gene expression, e.g., between different samples, represent true changes in gene expression or differences in cell type composition of the samples.

    摘要: In various embodiments of the present invention, initial gene-expression data is initially partitioned into classes by patient, subject, or other identifier of a source of samples, expression-level-differences are computed for each gene with respect to each initial partition, and a rank consistency score or fold-change consistency score is computed for each gene from the expression-level difference metrics computed for each initial partition. In other words, rather than partitioning gene-expression-level data directly into two or more classes relative to an event of interest, the gene-expression-level data is first partitioned according to sample source, and then each sample-source partition is partitioned into two or more classes relative to an event of interest. Levels of significance, or p-values, can be straightforwardly computed for both rank consistency scores and fold-change consistency scores.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a system and methods for minimizing risk factors that contribute to the development of vascular graft disease and vascular graft failure. In one embodiment, a microarray-based gene expression analysis may be employed to select pre-implanted vessel candidates suitable as grafts in various vascular transplantation procedures. By using a microarray that includes a set of probe sequences that statistically correlate with vascular graft disease, mRNA expression levels of vascular-graft-disease-related genes within vessel-graft candidates can be determined to produce an expression profile for each vessel tested. Such molecular profile of genes related to various forms of vascular graft disease enables clinicians to select a vessel graft having the lowest probability of developing vascular graft diseases, and having the highest probability of maintaining adequate patency rate. Various types of arteries and veins may be discriminated from one another based on their respective gene expression profiles.

    摘要: A heating assembly can include a locking valve with a reset switch which can include certain pressure sensitive features. These features can be configured to change from a first position to a second position based on a pressure of a fuel. The valve can be used with either a first fuel or a second fuel different from the first. The valve can become locked or be held in either the first or the second position. For example, a set fuel pressure can cause the valve to move to a closed position and the valve can become locked or held in that position. If the pressure decreases, the valve can remain in the locked position. Actuation of the reset switch can allow the valve to move to a new position, such as an open position. The locking valve can be linked to additional valves to lock them in position as well.

    摘要: A heater assembly can be used with a gas appliance. The gas appliance can be a dual fuel appliance for use with one of a first fuel type or a second fuel type different than the first. The heater assembly can include at least one pressure regulator, a housing, and an actuation member. The housing has a first fuel hook-up for connecting the first fuel type to the heater assembly, and a second fuel hook-up for connecting the second fuel type to the heater assembly. The actuation member can control a flow through the heater assembly based on whether the first or the second fuel hook-up is used.
