Project description:High-density oligonucleotide tiling-microarrays are currently providing a powerful tool for genome-wide in vivo DNA footprinting assays, yielding unprecedented insights into tissuespecific protein-DNA interactions and chromatin structure. Despite the impressive advances, however, the technology still suffers from numerous complications caused by background noise and probespecific effects. A few computational methods modeling sequencerelated probe effects are now available for Affymetrix tiling arrays, but no counterpart is yet available for two-color arrays. A novel normalization method based on the GC content of probes is developed for two-color tiling-arrays. The proposed method, together with robust estimates of the model parameters, is shown to perform superbly on published data sets. Accompanying the normalization method, a robust algorithm for detecting peak regions is formulated and also shown to perform well compared to other approaches. The tools presented herein have been implemented for NimbleGen tiling arrays as a stand-alone Java program, which can also display various plots of statistical analysis for quality control of experiments. Upon changing the file format, the program also works on Agilent data. Keywords: ChIP-chip

Project description:BACKGROUND: Microarray comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) evaluates the distribution of genes of sequenced bacterial strains among unsequenced strains of the same or related species. As genomic sequences from multiple strains of the same species become available, multistrain microarrays are designed, containing spots for every unique gene in all sequenced strains. To perform two-color aCGH experiments with multistrain microarrays, the choice of control sample can be the genomic DNA of one strain or a mixture of all the strains used in the array design. This important problem has no universally accepted solution. RESULTS: We performed a comparative study of the two control sample options with a Streptococcus pneumoniae microarray designed with three fully sequenced strains. We separately hybridized two of these strains (R6 and G54) as test samples using the third strain alone (TIGR4) or a mixture of the three strains as control. We show that for both types of control it is advantageous to analyze spots in separate sets according to their expected control channel signal (5-15% AUC increase). Following this analysis, the use of a mix control leads to higher accuracies (5% increase). This enhanced performance is due to gains in sensitivity (21% increase, p = 0.001) that compensate minor losses in specificity (5% decrease, p = 0.014). CONCLUSION: The use of a single strain control increases the error rate in genes that are part of the accessory genome, where more variation across unsequenced strains is expected, further justifying the use of the mix control.

Project description:We have developed a method for the parallel analysis of multiple CpG sites in genomic DNA for their state of methylation. Hypermethylation of CpG islands within the promoters and 5' exons of genes has been found to be a mechanism of transcriptional inactivation associated with a variety of tumors. The method that we developed relies on the differential reactivity of methylated and unmethylated cytosines with sodium bisulfite, which exclusively converts unmethylated cytosines to deoxyuracils. The resulting sequence changes are determined with single-nucleotide resolution by hybridization to an oligonucleotide array. Cohybridization with a reference sample containing a different label provides an internal standard for assessment of methylation state. This method provides advantages in parallelism over existing methods of methylation analysis. We have demonstrated this technique with a region from the promoter of the tumor suppressor gene p16, which is hypermethylated in many cancers.

Project description:Laser displays, which exploit characteristic advantages of lasers, represent a promising next-generation display technology based on the ultimate visual experience they provide. However, the inability to obtain pixelated laser arrays as self-emissive full-color panels hinders the application of laser displays in the flat-panel sector. Due to their excellent optoelectronic properties and processability, organic materials have great potential for the production of periodically patterned multi-color microlaser arrays. Here, we demonstrate for the first time full-color laser displays on precisely patterned organic red-green-blue (RGB) microlaser matrices through inkjet printing. Individual RGB laser pixels are realized by doping respective luminescent dyes into the ink materials, resulting in a wide achievable color gamut 45% larger than the standard RGB space. Using as-prepared microlaser arrays as full-color panels, we achieve dynamic laser displays for video playing through consecutive beam scanning. These results represent a major step towards full-color laser displays with outstanding color expression.

Project description:Fresh MEC1 cells (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) (ACC-497, DSMZ) previously untreated and treated in cultures in vitro with glycodendrimers (nanoparticle with maltotriose on the surface). MEC1 cells were centrifuged after incubation with drugs or dendrimers. Agilent’s Low Input Quick Amp Labeling Kit was used to generate fluorescent cRNA (complimentary RNA) with a sample input 100ng of total RNA for two-color processing. The method uses T7 RNA polymerase, which simultaneously amplifies target material and incorporates cyanine 3- or cyanine 5-labeled CTP. Amplification is typically at least a 100-fold from total RNA to cRNA with the use of this kit. cRNA quantification had been done using NanoDrop ND-1000 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer version 3.2.1. Arrays were placed onto the gaskets and than to the slide chamber in rotisserie in a hybridization oven set. Hybrydization was carried out at 65-Celsius degrees for 17 hours. Arrays were scanning using Agilent Scanner. Scan resolution was set up for 3μM.

Project description:Color conversion by (tapered) nanowire arrays fabricated in GaInP with bandgap emission in the red spectral region are investigated with blue and green source light LEDs in perspective. GaInP nano- and microstructures, fabricated using top-down pattern transfer methods, are derived from epitaxial Ga0.51In0.49P/GaAs stacks with pre-determined layer thicknesses. Substrate-free GaInP micro- and nanostructures obtained by selectively etching the GaAs sacrificial layers are then embedded in a transparent film to generate stand-alone color converting films for spectrophotometry and photoluminescence experiments. Finite-difference time-domain simulations and spectrophotometry measurements are used to design and validate the GaInP structures embedded in (stand-alone) transparent films for maximum light absorption and color conversion from blue (450 nm) and green (532 nm) to red (~ 660 nm) light, respectively. It is shown that (embedded) 1 μm-high GaInP nanowire arrays can be designed to absorb ~ 100% of 450 nm and 532 nm wavelength incident light. Room-temperature photoluminescence measurements with 405 nm and 532 nm laser excitation are used for proof-of-principle demonstration of color conversion from the embedded GaInP structures. The (tapered) GaInP nanowire arrays, despite very low fill factors (~ 24%), can out-perform the micro-arrays and bulk-like slabs due to a better in- and out-coupling of source and emitted light, respectively.

Project description:The spatial organization and dynamics of chromatin play important roles in essential biological functions. However, direct visualization of endogenous genomic loci in living cells has proven to be laborious until the recent development of CRISPR-Cas9-based chromatin labeling methods. These methods rely on the recognition of specific DNA sequences by CRISPR single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) and fluorescent-protein-fused catalytically inactive Cas9 to label specific chromatin loci in cells. Previously, multicolor chromatin labeling has been achieved using orthogonal Cas9 proteins from different bacterial species fused to different fluorescent proteins. Here we report the development of an alternative two-color CRISPR labeling method using only the well-characterized Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9, by incorporating MS2 or PP7 RNA aptamers into the sgRNA. The MS2 or PP7 aptamers then recruit the corresponding MS2 or PP7 coat proteins fused with different fluorescent proteins to the target genomic loci. Here we demonstrate specific and orthogonal two-color labeling of repetitive sequences in living human cells using this method. By attaching the MS2 or PP7 aptamers to different locations on the sgRNA, we found that extending the tetraloop and stem loop 2 of the sgRNA with MS2 or PP7 aptamers enhances the signal-to-background ratio of chromatin imaging.

Project description:DNA microarray technology has already revolutionized basic research in infectious diseases, and whole-genome sequencing efforts have allowed for the fabrication of tailor-made spotted microarrays for an increasing number of bacterial pathogens. However, the application of microarrays in diagnostic microbiology is currently hampered by the high costs associated with microarray experiments and the specialized equipment needed. Here, we show that a thorough bioinformatic postprocessing of the microarray design to reduce the amount of unspecific noise also allows the reliable use of spotted gene expression microarrays for gene content analyses. We further demonstrate that the use of only single-color labeling to halve the costs for dye-labeled nucleotides results in only a moderate decrease in overall specificity and sensitivity. Therefore, gene expression microarrays using only single-color labeling can also reliably be used for gene content analyses, thus reducing the costs for potential routine applications such as genome-based pathogen detection or strain typing.

Project description:We propose a nanoplasmonic platform that can be used for sensing trace levels of heavy metals in solutions via simple optical reflectivity measurements. The considered example is a lead sensor, which relies on the lead-mediated assembly of glutathione-functionalized gold nanoparticles (NPs) at a self-healing water/DCE liquid | liquid interface (LLI). Capillary forces tend to trap each NP at the LLI while the negatively charged ligands prevent the NPs settling too close to each other. In the presence of lead, due to chelation between the lead ion and glutathione ligand, the NPs assemble into a dense quasi-2D interfacial array. Such a dense assembly of plasmonic NPs can generate a remarkable broad-band reflectance signal, which is absent when NPs are adsorbed at the interface far apart from each other. The condensing effect of the LLI and the plasmonic coupling effect among the NP array gives rise to a dramatic enhancement of the reflectivity signals. Importantly, we show that our theory of the optical reflectivity from such an array of NPs works in perfect harmony with the physics and chemistry of the system with the key parameter being the interparticle distance at the interface. As a lead sensor, the system is fast, stable, and can achieve detection limits down to 14 ppb. Future alternative recognizing ligands can be used to build sister platforms for detecting other heavy metals.
