Salivary DNA Methylation Profiling: Aspects to Consider for Biomarker Identification
Is it not more comfortable to spit saliva in a tube than to be pricked with a needle to draw blood to analyse your health and disease risk? Many patients, study participants and (parents of) young children undoubtedly prefer non-invasive and convenient procedures. Such procedures increase compliance rates especially for longitudinal prospective studies. Saliva is an attractive biofluid providin...
متن کاملFactorization with Erroneous Data
Factorization algorithms for recovering structure and motion from an image stream have many advantages, but traditionally requires a set of well tracked feature points. This limits the usability since, correctly tracked feature points are not available in general. There is thus a need to make factorization algorithms deal successfully with incorrectly tracked feature points. We propose a new co...
متن کاملDolphin-Assisted Therapy: More Flawed Data and More Flawed Conclusions
Dolphin-Assisted Therapy (DAT) is an increasingly popular choice of treatment for illness and developmental disabilities by providing participants with the opportunity to swim or interact with live captive dolphins. Two reviews of DAT (Marino and Lilienfeld [1998] and Humphries [2003]) concluded that there is no credible scientific evidence for the effectiveness of this intervention. In this pa...
متن کاملIdentification of disease genes by expression profiling.
The human genome has been completely sequenced. The development of innovative methodologies and tools to understand the functions of human genes in health and disease will allow the data of the human genome project to be utilized. This paper reviews methods that can be used to detect and isolate genes that are specifically expressed in certain diseases or that are specific to cell types. First,...
متن کاملTissue Compartment Analysis for Biomarker Discovery by Gene Expression Profiling
BACKGROUND Although high throughput technologies for gene profiling are reliable tools, sample/tissue heterogeneity limits their outcomes when applied to identify molecular markers. Indeed, inter-sample differences in cell composition contribute to scatter the data, preventing detection of small but relevant changes in gene expression level. To date, attempts to circumvent this difficulty were ...
