Project description:We examined gene expression profiling of native mussels that were sampled in early summer 2003 from sites of the Venice lagoon area known to be differently affected by chemical pollution: Sites 1 and 2 close to the industrial district of Marghera and Site 3 close to the Lido lagoon outlet. Site 4, a current mussel farm located offshore, has been chosen as source of reference targets for microarray hybridizations. We have limited the preliminary assessment to the digestive gland. Digestive gland total RNA of each Site was hybridized in competition with the offshore mussels (Site 4 - Reference) and the relative abundance of each gene was measured by directly comparing fluorescent signals for each probe. We carried out two separate hybridizations for each site of the Venice lagoon area.. Keywords = digestive gland Keywords = Venice lagoon Keywords = chemical pollution Keywords = native mussels Keywords = transcriptional profiling Keywords: ordered
Project description:The development of precision medicine strategies requires prior knowledge of the genetic background of the target population. However, despite the availability of data from admixed Americans within large reference population databases, we cannot use these data as a surrogate for that of the Brazilian population. This lack of transferability is mainly due to differences between ancestry proportions of Brazilian and other admixed American populations. To address the issue, a coalition of research centres created the Brazilian Initiative on Precision Medicine (BIPMed), an initiative of five Research Innovation and Dissemination Centers (RIDCs) supported by FAPESP.
Project description:The aim of this study was to perform a genomic profiling of gliomas of Brazilian origin, using array-CGH, MSI analysis and to associate the genomic alterations with TERT and IDH1 mutation status, and correlate the molecular features with clinicopathological characteristics.

Project description:Herein, we aimed to analyze the gene expression profile of medulloblastoma samples from a Brazilian cohort of 17 pediatric patients.
