Introduction: In Iran, invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease causes severe bacteremic illness among children <5 years old. The global yearly incidence of iNTS disease in children was reported to be in the 3.4 (range&nbsp; 2.1-6.5) million cases,&nbsp; (overall incidence 49 cases (range 30-94) per 100,000 population), the iNTS case-fatality ratio (CFR) of 20% yielded 681,316&nbsp; deat...

background: aflatoxin b1 (afb1) is a toxic metaboliteproduced by aspergillus species that contaminates a wide range ofagricultural products. objectives: this study was designed todevelop a rapid and highly sensitive immunoassay method inmicroarray format for quantitative detection of afb1 to evaluatethe potential of microarray platform for high-throughput screening,which can be beneficial in fo...

background classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous. in a preceding published study, we utilized real-time pcr measurement of indicator genes in acute lymphoid leukaemia (all) and acute my...

b a c k g r o u n d  & aim: it is very helpful to classify and predict the clinical  category  of a sample based  on  its  gene  expression  profile.  this  study  was  conducted  to predict  tissues  of colorectal adenoma,  adenocarcinoma,  and  paired  normal  in  colon  based  on  microarray  data  using  nearest shrunken centroid method. methods   &  materials:    in  this  study,   the  co...

objective(s): microarrays are potential analyzing tools for genomics and proteomics researches, which is in needed of suitable substrate for coating and also hybridization of biomolecules.   materials and methods: in this research, a thin film of oxidized agarose was prepared on the glass slides which previously coated with poly-l-lysine (pll). some of the aldehyde groups of the activated agaro...

in this paper, we propose a new gene selection algorithm based on shuffled frog leaping algorithm that is called sfla-fs. the proposed algorithm is used for improving cancer classification accuracy. most of the biological datasets such as cancer datasets have a large number of genes and few samples. however, most of these genes are not usable in some tasks for example in cancer classification. ...

an important aspect of microarray studies includes the prediction of patient survival based on their gene expression profile. to deal with the high dimensionality of this data, use of a dimension reduction procedure along with the survival prediction model is necessary. this study aimed to present a new method based on wavelet transform for survival relevant gene selection.the data included 204...

dna microarrays consist of collection of dna microscopic spots that in order to form an array attached to a solid surface such as glass, plastic or silicon chip. the pieces of fixed dna considered as a searcher. in this technology it is possible to test sample against thousands probes for specific genes. with this ability, arrays accelerate the biological investigations, gene finding, molecular...

Background: Microarray experiments can simultaneously determine the expression of thousands of genes. Identification of potential genes from microarray data for diagnosis of cancer is important. This study aimed to identify genes for the diagnosis of acute myeloid and lymphoblastic leukemia using a sparse feature selection method. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the expressio...

diffuse large b-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-hodgkin lymphoma. micrornas (mirnas) are endogenous small rna, which can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. mirna profiling has shown a great potential as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. the present study was performed at the nemazee teaching hospital (shiraz, iran) from 2011 to 2013.the aim of thi...
