BACKGROUND Currently, comparative genomic hybridisation array (array CGH) is the method of choice for studying genome wide DNA copy number changes. To date, either amplified representations of bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs)/phage artificial chromosomes (PACs) or cDNAs have been spotted as probes. The production of BAC/PAC and cDNA arrays is time consuming and expensive. AIM To evalua...

To generate ideal digital holograms, a computer-generated hologram (CGH) has been regarded as a solution. However, it has an unavoidable problem in that the computational burden for generating CGH is very large. Recently, many studies have been conducted to investigate different solutions in order to reduce the computational complexity of CGH by using particular methods such as look-up tables (...

OBJECTIVE DNA aberrations that cause colorectal cancer (CRC) occur in multiple steps that involve microsatellite instability (MSI) and chromosomal instability (CIN). Herein, we studied CRCs from AA patients for their CIN and MSI status. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Array CGH was performed on 30 AA colon tumors. The MSI status was established. The CGH data from AA were compared to published lists of 41...

Photocurable three-dimensional (3D) printing is a stepwise layer-by-layer fabrication process widely used in the manufacture of highly specialized objects. Current 3D techniques are easily implemented; however, build rate slow and surface quality less than ideal. Holographic display (3DHD) technology makes it possible to reform planar wavefronts into intensity distribution, which appears as ima...

Choloylglycine hydrolase (CGH), a bile salt hydrolase, has been annotated in all the available genomes of Brucella species. We obtained the Brucella CGH in recombinant form and demonstrated in vitro its capacity to cleave glycocholate into glycine and cholate. Brucella abortus 2308 (wild type) and its isogenic Deltacgh deletion mutant exhibited similar growth rates in tryptic soy broth in the a...

Structured light fields have attracted much attention due to rich spatial degrees of freedom. The tailoring an arbitrary structured field on demand is the precondition for application light. Therefore, computer holography method used reconstruct a coherent wavefront has been naturally applied generating In this work, we comprehensively demonstrate principles and procedures pure-phase computer-g...

Diagnostic possibilities of CGH and M-FISH techniques for detection of submicroscopic chromosomal imbalancies were compared on the basis of two cases of t(X;Y) and one case of marker chromosome. In cases with t(X;Y), the sequences specific for chromosome Y were detected by PCR and CGH, but the localisation of these sequences on the short arm of chromosome X was confirmed by the FISH technique, ...

We studied chromosomal abnormalities in arrested embryos produced by assisted reproductive technology with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) in order to determine the best technique for evaluating chromosomal aneusomies to be implemented in different situations. We examined individual blastomeres from arrested embryos by FISH and arrested whol...

In the present study, we investigated the influence of cytological stains in analyzing DNA extracted from cytological slides by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Multiple imprint cytological slides were prepared for fresh-frozen breast cancer tissue samples and the slides were stained by three staining methods for each sample. Under microscopic observation, cancer cells were selectively ...
