Project description:RATIONALE: Gathering information about how often fungal infections of the blood occur in patients with cancer or in patients who have undergone stem cell transplant may help doctors learn more about the disease.
PURPOSE: This natural history study is collecting information about fungal infections of the blood over time from patients with cancer or from patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant.
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) 2 samples (control cell line and Melanoma cell line). This is the data for a validation step. contributor: Australian Pancreatic Cancer Genome Initiative
Project description:Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) was used for expression analysis of three contrasted fungal tissues of uredinia corresponding respectively to spores and sporogenous hyphae, fungal structures in the spongy mesophyll and fungal infection structures in the palisade mesophyll. The array probes were designed from gene models taken from the Joint Genome Institute (JGI, Department of Energy) Melampsora larici-populina genome sequence version 1. The aim of this study was to identify tissue-specific gene expression to gain insights into the genes specifically associated with the biotrophic phase and the sporulation phase of the rust fungus.
Project description:Amplicon-based fungal metagenomic sequencing for the identification of fungal species in brain tissue from Alzheimer's disease. The study consists in 14 samples, sequenced using Illumina's paired-end technology.
