Project description:This study explores the impact of lifestyle and environment on gene expression through whole transcriptome profiling of peripheral blood samples in Fijian population (native Melanesians and Indians) living in the rural and urban areas. 41 individuals (14 urban Melanesians, 10 rural Melanesians and 17 urban Indians) of both gender were sampled under informed consents. Only healthy individuals aged between 18 and 65 were sampled. RNA from each sample was hybridized to an Illumina array. No replicates were done in this study
Project description:The dataset includes SNP genotypes and CNP signals for 40 individuals from the capital region of Finland representing general population (IDs as FIN_#) and 41 individuals from the population sub-isolate Late-settlement area (IDs as LSFIN_#).

Project description:This experiment contains a subset of data from the BLUEPRINT Epigenome project ( http://www.blueprint-epigenome.eu ), which aims at producing a reference haemopoetic epigenomes for the research community. 4 samples of primary cells from tonsil with cell surface markes CD20med/CD38high in young individuals (3 to 10 years old) are included in this experiment. This ArrayExpress record contains only meta-data. Raw data files have been archived at the European Genome-Phenome Archive (EGA, www.ebi.ac.uk/ega) by the consortium, with restricted access to protect sample donors' identity. The relevant accessions of EGA data sets is EGAD00001001523. Details on how to apply for data access via the BLUEPRINT data access committee are on the EGA data set pages. The mapping of samples to these EGA accessions can be found in the 'Sample Data Relationship Format' file of this ArrayExpress record. Information on individual samples and sequencing libraries can also be found on the BLUEPRINT data coordination centre (DCC) website: http://dcc.blueprint-epigenome.eu
Project description:Forty-six percent of the world's population resides in rural areas, the majority of whom belong to vulnerable and low-income groups. They mainly use cheap solid fuels for cooking and heating, which release a large amount of PM2.5 and cause adverse effects to human health. PM2.5 exhibits urban-rural differences in its health risk to the respiratory system. However, the majority of research on this issue has focused on respiratory diseases induced by atmospheric PM2.5 in urban areas, while rural areas have been ignored for a long time, especially the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases. This is not helpful for promoting environmental equity to aid low-income and vulnerable groups under PM2.5 pollution. Thus, this study focuses on rural atmospheric PM2.5 in terms of its chemical components, toxicological effects, respiratory disease types, and pathogenesis, represented by PM2.5 from rural areas in the Sichuan Basin, China (Rural SC-PM2.5). In this study, organic carbon is the most significant component of Rural SC-PM2.5. Rural SC-PM2.5 significantly induces cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response. Based on multiomics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology, Rural SC-PM2.5 inhibits ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2) to disrupt the cell cycle, impede DNA replication, and ultimately inhibit lung cell proliferation. Furthermore, this study supplements and supports the epidemic investigation. Through an analysis of the transcriptome and human disease database, it is found that Rural SC-PM2.5 may mainly involve pulmonary hypertension, sarcoidosis, and interstitial lung diseases; in particular, congenital diseases may be ignored by epidemiological surveys in rural areas, including tracheoesophageal fistula, submucous cleft of the hard palate, and congenital hypoplasia of the lung. This study contributes to a greater scientific understanding of the health risks posed by rural PM2.5, elucidates the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases, clarifies the types of respiratory diseases, and promotes environmental equity.
Project description:RNA was isolated from purified human CD8 cells that were incubated with anti-HER2/CD3 TDB in the presence of SK-BR-3 cells. This dataset only contains the metadata and processed data. Raw data can be accessed via the EGA accession EGAS00001003734
Project description:Purpose: Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) to assess copy number variation (CNV) content is now used as a first tier genetic diagnostic test for individuals with unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) or multiple congenital anomalies (MCA). Over 100 cytogenetic labs worldwide are using the Affymetrix CytoScan HD 2.7M array to genotype >15,000 clinical samples per month. The aim of this study is to develop a CNV resource from a population control cohort that can be used as a community resource for interpretation of clinical and research samples. Methods: We have genotyped a large population control set (1,000 individuals from our Ontario Population Genomics Platform (OPGP)) using the Affymetrix CytoScan HD microarray comprising 2.7 million probes. Four independent algorithms were applied to detect and assess high confidence CNVs. Reproducibility and validations were quantified using sample replicates and Quantitative-PCR (QPCR), respectively. Results: DNA from 873 individuals from the OPGP cohort passed quality control and we have identified 71,178 CNVs (81 CNVs/individual) distributed across 796 different cytogenetic regions in the genome; 9.8% of the CNVs were previously unreported. After applying three layers of filtering criteria, from our high confidence CNVs dataset, we obtained a >95% reproducibility and >90% validation rate. Due to the array's high probe density within genic regions, our high confidence CNV data set show 73% of the detected CNVs overlapped at least one gene. Conclusion: The genotype data and annotated CNVs presented in this study will represent a valuable public resource enabling clinical genetics research and diagnostics.
