Expression Profiling Using Affymetrix GeneChip Microarrays.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The approximately 25,000 genes in mammalian genomes can be transcribed at different levels. Measurements of gene expression for ten thousands of genes in parallel give the most comprehensive picture of steady-state levels of transcripts and is used in basic and applied research. Microarrays are the most frequently used technology for genome-wide expression profiling; from the various available microarray platforms, Affymetrix GeneChips are most frequently used for expression profiling and over 3,000 scientific publications describe results of this technology. In medical research, expression profiling by microarrays holds great promises for better understanding of diseases, identification of new therapeutic targets, and subclassification of diseases to identify individualized treatment strategies.

MOTIVATION Affymetrix GeneChips are common 3' profiling platforms for quantifying gene expression. Using publicly available datasets of expression profiles from human and mouse experiments, we sought to characterize features of GeneChip data to better compare and evaluate analyses for differential expression, regulation and clustering. We uncovered an unexpected order dependence in expression d...
متن کاملTowards Quality Control for DNA Microarrays
We present a framework for detecting probes in oligonucleotide microarrays that may add significant error to measurements in hybridization experiments. Four types of so-called degenerate probe behavior are considered: secondary structure formation, self-dimerization, cross-hybridization, and dimerization. The framework uses a well-established model for computing the free energy of nucleic acid ...
متن کاملQualitative Assessment of Gene Expression in Affymetrix Genechip Arrays
Affymetrix Genechip microarrays are used widely to determine the simultaneous expression of genes in a given biological paradigm. Probes on the Genechip array are atomic entities which by definition are randomly distributed across the array and in turn govern the gene expression. In the present study, we make several interesting observations. We show that there is considerable correlation betwe...

Gene expression profiling is an important tool in the development of medical countermeasures against chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Non-human primates (NHPs), specifically the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), the cynomologus macaque (Macaca fascicularis), and the African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops), are vital models in the development of CWA prophylactics, therapeutics, and diagnostics...
