摘要:
The present invention relates to modified and genomic sequences, to oligonucleotides and/or PNA-oligomers for detecting the cytosine methylation state of genomic DNA, as well as to a method for ascertaining genetic and/or epigenetic parameters of genes for use in the differentiation, diagnosis, treatment and/or monitoring of colon cell proliferative disorders, or the predisposition to colon cell proliferative disorders.
摘要:
Aspects of the present invention provide compositions and methods for prognosis of, and/or predicting the estrogen treatment outcome of breast cell proliferative disorder patients, and in particular of patients with breast carcinoma. In preferred embodiments, this is achieved, at least in part, by determining the expression level of PITX2, and/or the genetic or the epigenetic modifications of the genomic DNA associated with the gene PITX2. Additional aspects of the invention provide novel sequences, oligomers (e.g., oligonucleotides or peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-oligomers), and antibodies, which have substantial utility in the described inventive methods and compositions.

摘要:
The invention describes a method for amplifying nucleic acids, such as DNA with means of an enzymatic amplification step, such as a polymerase chain reaction, specified for template nucleic acids of low complexity, e.g. pre-treated DNA, like but not limited to DNA pre-treated with bisulfite is disclosed. The invention is based on the use of specific oligo-nucleotide primer molecules to solely amplify specific pieces of DNA. It is disclosed how to optimize the primer design for a PCR if the template DNA is of low complexity.
摘要:
The disclosed invention provides methods and computer program products for the improved verification and controlling of assays for the analysis of nucleic acid variations by means of statistical process control. The invention is characterised in that variables of each experiment are monitored by measuring deviations of said variables from a reference data set and wherein said experiments or batches thereof are indicated as unsuitable for further interpretation if they exceed predetermined limits.
