Project description:Structural changes of chromosomes play important roles in the carcinogenesis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Here, by using SNP-typing arrays, we have tried to screen for recurrent chromosome copy number changes and loss-of-heterozygosity in the genome of colorectal carcinoma. Genomic DNA was isolated from tumor and paired normal tissues of CRC (n=94), and was hybridized to Affymetrix Mapping 50K Xba 240 arrays. Chromosome copy number and LOH likelihood score was inferred at every SNP locus with CNAG2.0 software (http://www.genome.umin.jp). Keywords: Comparative genomic hybridization
Project description:To analyze the global copy number aberrations of two nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines, TW01 and HONE1. Global copy number aberrations were analyzed by using high-resolution oligoarray CGH on two NPC cell lines, TW01 and HONE1. The overviews of array CGH profiles reveal high similarity between both NPC cell lines, but the degree of copy-number alterations were more severe in TW01 than in HONE1. There were 1204 and 1513 genes with copy-number gain (CNVs with aberration score > 0.5 and number of contiguous probes ≥ 3) in TW01 and HONE1, respectively. Among them, 850 were commonly amplified in both cell lines (Gain-TH). There were 3525 genes and 926 genes with copy-number loss (CNVs with aberration score < 0.5 and number of contiguous probe ≥ 3) in TW01 and HONE1, respectively. Among them, 582 were commonly deleted in both cell lines (Loss-TH). The most prominent CNVs observed including gain on 3q26.2-q26.31, loss on 3p21.2-q12.1, 9p24.3-p21.3, and nearly the whole Y chromosome.
