ABSTRACT: Custom Affymetrix SNP used to assay 24 mothers for desired variants. Data processed using the Affymetrix SNP Genotyping Console (Version 4.2, Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA).
Project description:Light-controlled in situ synthesis of DNA microarrays (Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0) were performed to determine the altered gene expression. Affymetrix algorithm and multiple analysis comparison software were used for assessing gene expression differences, and mRNAs that increased or decreased in the brains of NP(α-M)-treated mice relative to that in the brains of Blank-NP-treated mice were identified. For the assay, total RNA was extracted using Takara RNAiso Plus Kit (Cat#9109, Takara, DaLian, LiaoNing, CN) following the manufacturer’s instructions and checked for a RIN number to inspect RNA integrity by an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US). Qualified total RNA was further purified by RNeasy mini kit (Cat#74106, QIAGEN, GmBH, Germany) and RNase-Free DNase Set (Cat#79254, QIAGEN, GmBH, Germany). Array hybridization and wash was performed using GeneChip® Hybridization, Wash and Stain Kit (Cat#900720, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, US) in Hybridization Oven 645 (Cat#00-0331-220V, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, US) and Fluidics Station 450 (Cat#00-0079, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, US) followed the manufacturer’s instructions. Slides were scanned by GeneChip® Scanner 3000 (Cat#00-00212, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, US) and Command Console Software 4.0 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, US) with default settings. Raw data were normalized by MAS 5.0 algorithm, Gene Spring Software12.6.1 (Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US).

Project description:There still is a lack of specific, early markers for acute pancreatitis. We used the gene expression profiling Affimetrix mouse gene 1.0 ST arrays (Affymetrix , Inc. Santa Clara, CA), to cmpare the gene expression between control mice and mice with induced experimental acute pancreatitis, in order to identify new potential biomarkers of acute pancreatitis.
Project description:We examined six pairs of monozygotic twins discordant (MZD) for schizophrenia and identified copy number variation (CNV) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) differences between affected and unaffected co-twins using the Affymetrix Genome Wide SNP 6.0. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacurer's protocol on DNA extracted from whole blood CNV analysis was done using Affymetrix Genotyping Console 4.0 and Partek Genotyping Suite
Project description:We investigated the effects of diabetes, physical training, and their combination on the gene expression of cardiac muscle. Mice were divided to control (C), training (T), streptozotocin-induced diabetic (D), and diabetic training (DT) groups. Training groups performed 1, 3, or 5 weeks of endurance training on a motor-driven treadmill. Muscle samples from T and DT groups together with respective controls were collected 24 hours after the last training session. Gene expression of cardiac muscles were analyzed using Affymetrix Gene chip MG U74Av2 (Affymetrix , Inc., Santa Clara, CA). Keywords: time course
Project description:Methods of comprehensive microarray based analyses of single cell DNA are rapidly emerging. Whole genome amplification (WGA) remains a critical component for these methods to be successful. A number of commercially available WGA kits have been independently utilized in previous single cell microarray studies. However, direct comparison of their performance on single cells has not been conducted. The present study demonstrates that among previously published methods, a single cell GenomePlex WGA protocol provides the best combination of speed and accuracy for SNP microarray based copy number analysis when compared to a REPLI-g or GenomiPhi based protocol. Alternatively, for applications that do not have constraints on turn-around time and that are directed at accurate genotyping rather than copy number assignments, a REPLI-g based protocol may provide the best solution. Affymetrix SNP arrays were processed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from human fibroblast cell lines and single fibroblast cells. Afflymetrix SNP array analysis was successfully completed on 46 lymphocyte single cell samples, 8 gDNA extracted from cell lines, 11 reference gDNA extracted from cell lines and 3 reference gDNA samples from the RMA of New Jersey DNA bank. GSM617116 to GSM617129: CEL files were processed using GTYPE version 4 (Affymetrix Inc., Genotyping Console 4.0 Manual) using the DM algorithm for genotype calls. Copy number and loss of heterozygosity were calculated from CHP files using CNAT version 4.1 (Affymetrix Inc., Genotyping Console 4.0 Manual) analysis against a reference set consisting of three normal females from in house gDNA bank, 11 normal females from Coriel cell lines and 16 normal females from the HapMap database (www.hapmap.org). The 16 normal females are NA10855, NA10863, NA11832, NA12057, NA12234, NA12717, NA12813, NA18505, NA18508, NA18517, NA19137, NA19152, NE00088, NE00091, NE00403, and NE01119.
Project description:H226 cells transfected with DDX56 siRNA and control siRNA were incubated for 48 hours and total RNA isolated and used for the microarray analysis using Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Slides were scanned by GeneChip® Scanner 3000 (Cat#00-00212, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, US) and Command Console Software 4.0 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, US) with default settings.
Project description:Genome-wide expression profiling was used to identify genes that showed altered expression in response to treatment with the saponins tomatidine, tomatine and the sterol biosynthesis inhibitory compound fenpropimorph Growth inhibition by the compounds was monitored by measuring the OD600nm. Cells were pelleted and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Acid-washed glass beads (0.5 mm diameter; Sigma) were added and the cells disrupted using two 20 s cycles at speed setting 6 in the Savant Bio 101 Fast Prep FP120. Total RNA was isolated using the Qiagen RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Inc., Valencia, CA, USA). Microarray hybridisation was performed using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Yeast genome S98 array using protocols described by Affymetrix, Inc.
