摘要:
Methods and apparatus for classifying or predicting the classes for samples based on gene expression are described. Also described are methods and apparatus for ascertaining or discovering new, previously unknown classes based on gene expression. Methods, computer systems and apparatus for classifying or predicting whether a sample is treatment sensitive (e.g., chemosensitive) or treatment resistant (e.g., chemoresistant) are also provided. Classification occurs based on analysis of gene expression data from samples that have been subjected to one or more compounds.

摘要:
Methods for determining the amount of an RNA transcript in a test sample are disclosed, utilizing a reference sample comprising a known amount of a reference nucleic acid, labeled with a first strand 3′ cDNA primer and a first strand 5′ cDNA primer comprising a reference specificity determining box; and a test sample comprising an amount of test RNA containing an RNA transcript of interest, the test RNA being labeled with the first strand 3′ cDNA primer and a first strand 5′ cDNA primer comprising a test specificity determining box. The reference sample and the test sample are mixed and subjected to polymerase chain reaction amplification conditions, followed by division of the amplified, mixed sample and continued amplification of the divided sample to produce nucleic acids containing amplified reference nucleic acid or amplified cDNA of the test RNA, from which cRNA can be generated by in vitro transcription. The amount of the test RNA, or of the RNA transcript of interest, in the sample correlates with a ratio of the amount of amplified cDNA of the test RNA (or of the RNA transcript of interest), over the amount of the amplified reference nucleic acid, multiplied by the known amount of the reference nucleic acid in the reference sample.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for determining the activity of a plurality of nucleic acid regulatory elements. These methods may facilitate, e.g., the systematic reverse engineering, and optimization of mammalian cis-regulatory elements at high resolution and at a large scale. The method may include integration of multiplexed DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies to generate and quantify the transcriptional regulatory activity of e.g., thousands of arbitrary DNA sequences in parallel in cell-based as says (e.g., mammalian cell based assays).
摘要:
The invention provides methods for improving the fidelity of a sequencing-by-synthesis reaction by resequencing at least a portion of a nucleic acid template.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods for identifying compounds and compositions that target cancer stem cells. In some aspects, the invention relates to treatment methods that use compounds and compositions that specifically target cancer stem cells for inhibiting the growth and/or survival of cancer stem cells in a subject in need thereof. Other aspects of the invention relate to the use of cancer stem cell biomarkers in the selection of a treatment for inhibiting the growth and/or survival of cancer stem cells in a subject in need thereof.
摘要:
The invention provides nucleic acid segments of the human genome, particularly nucleic acid segments from a gene, including polymorphic sites. Allele-specific primers and probes hybridizing to regions flanking or containing these sites are also provided. The nucleic acids, primers and probes are used in applications such as phenotype correlations, forensics, paternity testing, medicine and genetic analysis. A role for the thrombospondin gene(s) in vascular disease is also disclosed. Use of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the thrombospondin gene(s) for diagnosis, prediction of clinical course and treatment response, development of therapeutics and development of cell-culture-based and animal models for research and treatment are disclosed.

Allele-specific primers and probes hybridizing to regions flanking or containing these sites are also provided. The nucleic acids, primers and probes are used in applications such as phenotype correlations, forensics, paternity testing, medicine and genetic analysis.
摘要:
A central role for the gene encoding protein kinase C zeta in diabetes and perhaps in related disorders is disclosed. Use of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the protein kinase C zeta gene for diagnosis, prediction of clinical course and treatment response, development of new treatments and development of cell-culture based and animal models for research and treatment are disclosed.
