Project description:Plant-based diets rich in fruit and vegetables can prevent development of several chronic age-related diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The mechanisms behind this protective effect is not elucidated. We have studied whether a specially designed antioxidant-rich food diet and a kiwi-fruit intervention can affect whole genome expression in human blood cells with emphasis on stress and repair related process.
Project description:Illumina 1M Omni Quad arrays were used to test mutation calling accuracy of qSNP tool (a mutation caller) Ilumina array genotypes with GenCal (GC score)>0.70 were used in the comparison of genotype calls using next generation sequencing data and qSNP (mutation caller)
