Project description:Colorectal cancer is the third most common and the second deadliest tumour type in both sexes world-wide. To understand the functional and prognostic impact of cancer-causing somatic mutations, we analysed the whole genomes and transcriptomes of 1,063 primary colorectal cancers in a population-based cohort with long-term follow-up. High quality transcriptome sequences from 1,063 tumours and 120 tissue normals enabled integration analyses of gene mutations and gene expression levels.
Project description:The LifeLines-DEEP cohort is a sub-cohort of the LifeLines cohort (167,729 participants) that employs a broad range of investigative procedures to assess the biomedical, socio-demographic, behavioral, physical and psychological factors that contribute to health and disease in the general Dutch population, (Scholtens 2015). A subset of approximately 1,500 participants also took part in LifeLines-DEEP. For these participants, additional biological materials were collected, including analysis of the gut microbiome composition. The phenotyping and processing of LifeLines-DEEP has been described in Tigchelaar (2015).
Project description:The cDNA obtained before and after each round of SCOTS (first, second and third) from 2 h post-infection were hybridized to analyse the effect of SCOTS round on transcripts population. The number of detected genes increase with the numer of round of SCOTS. Because the cDNA prepared by 3 round of SCOTS gave the best results, three round of SCOTS were used in the preparation of the other samples. Keywords: Evaluation of SCOTS round
Project description:The EGA hosts the summary genotype results of the GWAS in 856 patients with Dupuytren's disease and 2,836 population based controls from 'LifeLines' cohort study
