Genomic microarrays in the spotlight.
Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) has emerged as a revolutionary platform, enabling the high-resolution detection of DNA copy number aberrations. In this article we outline the use and limitations of genomic clones, cDNA clones and PCR products as targets for genomic microarray construction. Furthermore, the applications and future aspects of these arrays for DNA co...
متن کاملA perspective on microarrays: current applications, pitfalls, and potential uses
With advances in robotics, computational capabilities, and the fabrication of high quality glass slides coinciding with increased genomic information being available on public databases, microarray technology is increasingly being used in laboratories around the world. In fact, fields as varied as: toxicology, evolutionary biology, drug development and production, disease characterization, diag...
متن کاملA genomic perspective on protein families.
In order to extract the maximum amount of information from the rapidly accumulating genome sequences, all conserved genes need to be classified according to their homologous relationships. Comparison of proteins encoded in seven complete genomes from five major phylogenetic lineages and elucidation of consistent patterns of sequence similarities allowed the delineation of 720 clusters of orthol...
متن کاملA genomic perspective on vitamin D signaling.
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor whose target genes play key roles in cellular metabolism, bone formation, cellular growth, differentiation and in controlling inflammation. Many of these VDR target genes are also involved in dysregulated pathways leading to common human diseases, such as cancer. The activation of VDR by natural and synthetic ligands may im...
متن کاملComparative genomic hybridization using oligonucleotide microarrays and total genomic DNA.
Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) measures copy-number variations at multiple loci simultaneously, providing an important tool for studying cancer and developmental disorders and for developing diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Arrays for CGH based on PCR products representing assemblies of BAC or cDNA clones typically require maintenance, propagation, replication, and verif...
