Project description:Normal kidney, liver, spleen, and Universal RNA from Stratagene were expression profiled across five centers (UCLA, Duke, TGen, Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC, and University of Pennsylvania) using the Affymetrix, spotted Operon, Agilent, and Amersham arrays to identify differences in expression between microarray platforms as well as centers. To compare the four microarray platforms as well as the reproducibility across the centers. There will be expression differences between the five centers. The following array types were profiled at the centers: UCLA: Affymetrix, Amersham, Agilent TGen: Affymetrix (3000 scanner) Children's: Affymetrix (2500 scanner) Duke: Operon Oligo University of Penn.: Affymetrix Series_author: Consortium,,Cross Platform Keywords: other
Project description:As part of collaboration between the X. William Yang Lab at UCLA and CHDI, a transcriptomic study of normal murine cortex was carried out. Cortex was dissected from 6-month-old wildtype (WT) control mice. Transcriptomic analysis (RNASeq) was performed.
Project description:Gene expression profiling was carried out on peripheral blood leukocytes from 14 healthy older adults. The primary research question is whether gene expression differs in individuals experiencing chronically high levels of social isolation (by UCLA Loneliness Scale) vs chronically low levels of social isolation. Keywords: Risk prediction
Project description:Rat skeletal muscle derived stem cells were grown in the presence of cholesterol or sodium palmitate in 1 mM glucose (low) or 4 mM glucose (high) RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Plus Micro kit and analyzed at UCLA by the Affymetrix rat Gene 2.0 ST chip.
