Project description:The genomic loci with copy number alterations are known to harbor cancer genes. We investigated a comprehensive panel of gastric cancer cell lines for their genome-wide copy number alterations. Eighteen gastric cancer cell lines were profiled using Affymetrix 500K SNP arrays. For copy number calculation, seven independent normal blood samples were profiled together. The copy numbers were calculated genome-wide, in these cell lines with high resolution and reveal the cell line specific amplification and copy number changes.
Project description:Copy number profiling of 36 ovarian tumors on Affymetrix 100K SNP arrays Thirty-six ovarian tumors were profiled for copy-number alterations with the Affymetrix 100K Mapping Array. Copy number profiling of 36 ovarian tumors on Affymetrix 500K SNP arrays Sixteen ovary tumors were profiled for copy-number alterations with the high-resolution Affymetrix 500K Mapping Array.
Project description:sPNETs are highly malignant embryonal brain tumours of poor prognosis. The underlying biology is poorly understood. To address this we therefore performed high resolution genetic analysis. 36 CNS PNETs and 8 PBs were analysed using the Affymetrix 100K and 500K Mapping Set to identify copy number imbalance at both the chromosome and gene level. Keywords: Affymetrix 100K SNP array, Affymetrix 500K SNP arrays
Project description:Melanoma cell lines were genotyped to evaluate copy number differences between nodular melanoma (NM) and superficial spreading melanoma (SSM). Cell lines were also evaluated for copy number alterations in the SKP2/p27 axis. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to manufacturer's instructions using DNA extracted from 18 melanoma cell lines and 4 melanocyte controls.
Project description:Gastric cancer and esophageal cancer are the 2nd and 6th leading causes of cancer death worldwide. We analyzed DNA copy numbers for 73 ESCC (43 SNP5.0 and 30 500K SNP) with the Affymetrix SNP arrays . Our analyses implicated potential driver mutations involving the following genes: mutations in TP53, BRCA2, NOTCH2, CTNNB1, and LEPREL2; amplification of CCND1, FGF3/4/19, and MYC; and deletion of CDKN2A/B.
Project description:Development of a clinically relevant animal models of RCC for preclinical investigations. For DNA copy number analysis, the Sty I (250K) SNP array of the 500K Human Mapping Array (Affymetrix) was used. Arrays were scanned by GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G. Probe-level signal intensities were normalized to a baseline array with median intensity using invariant set normalization and SNP-level signal intensities were obtained using a model-based (PM/MM) method. Keywords: SNP array data, renal cell carcinoma
Project description:In order to benchmark the reproducibility of Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 for detecting copy-number alterations, we performed replicate hybridizations of 3 tumor cell lines and 2 paired normal cell lines obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). We calculated copy numbers at each SNP probeset by a custom copy-number pipeline (PMID: 18772890). For each cell line, copy number data from replicate arrays are supplied in the accompanying matrix files. For each SNP probeset, we calculated the median copy number across replicate arrays. We compared the copy-number alterations detected by Circular Binary Segmentation segmentation of these arrays with statistical analyses of short sequence reads obtained from the Illumina/Solexa 1G GenomeAnalyzer. Shotgun sequencing results can be found in the NCBI Short Read Archive, accession number SRP000246 Keywords: disease state analysis
Project description:Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from cryopreserved HNSCC samples. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 500K SNP arrays was performed for 11 HNSCC samples, which were used as references for copy number inference.
Project description:We analyzed copy numbers of 60 SCLC cell lines using 6.0 SNP-arrays. For a subgroup of 36 cell lines, previously published copy number data was utilized. CEL and SEG files are included for all cell lines, for which copy number data were not publicly available.
Project description:Cytogenetic profiles of 50 meningiomas using high-density GeneChip Mapping 500K set and Genome-Wide Human SNP 6.0 Array in the tumor tissues and in the peripheral blood of the same patients. A total of two hundred 500k arrays (100 tumor samples and 100 blood samples) and 14 SNP6.0 arrays (7 tumour samples and 7 peripheral blood samples) were studied to explore the most common recurrent chromosomal abnormalities (gains and losses) in meningiomas. Our results confirm that del(22q) (52%) and del(1p) (16%) (common deleted regions: 22q11.21-22q13.3. and 1p31.2-p36.33) are the most frequent abnormalities. Additionally, recurrent monosomy 14 (8%), del(6p) (10%), del(7p) (10%) and del(19p) (6%) were also observed, while copy number variation (CNV) patterns consistent with recurrent chromosome gains, gene amplification was absent or rare. Based on their overall SNP profiles meningiomas could be classified into: i) diploid cases, ii) meningiomas with a single chromosome change (e.g. monosomy 22/del(22q) and iii) tumours with ≥2 altered chromosomes.
