摘要:
The present invention provides methods for utilizing the changes of hybridization levels in time during approach to equilibrium duplex formation for identifying specific hybridization to polynucleotide probes. In the invention, the changes of hybridization levels at one or more polynucleotide probes by a sample comprising a plurality of nucleic acid molecules having different sequences are monitored during their progress towards equilibrium and the continuing increase of hybridization signals beyond cross-hybridization is used as an indication of specific binding. The invention also provides methods of comparing specificities of different polynucleotides probes. The invention further provides methods for ranking and selecting polynucleotide probes that are specific to particular nucleic acids and methods for enhancing the detection of nucleic acids. The invention further provides methods for determining the orientation of nucleotide sequences.
摘要:
A method for fluorophore bias removal in microarray experiments in which the fluorophores used in microarray experiment pairs are reversed. Further, a method for calculating the individual errors associated with each measurement made in nominally repeated microarray experiments. This error measurement is optionally coupled with rank based methods in order to determine a probability that a cellular constituent is up or down regulated in response to a perturbation. Finally, a method for determining the confidence in the weighted average of the expression level of a cellular constituent in nominally repeated microarray experiments.

摘要:
The present invention provides prognostic methods for conditions such as cancer, for example, breast cancer, comprising classifying an individual by a plurality of phenotypic, genotypic or clinical characteristics of the condition into a plurality of patient subsets, and analyzing the pattern of expression of prognosis-informative genes identified for that subset in a sample from the individual. The present invention also provides methods for constructing such patient subsets and of identifying prognosis-informative genesets for such subsets. The invention further provides methods of assigning a therapeutic regimen to an individual, microarrays useful for performing prognosis, kits comprising these microarrays, and computer systems and programs for implementing the methods of the invention.
