Project description:Copy number variations and genomic rearrangements in the CFH-CFHRs region were assessed with a custom-designed high-density 8x15k oligonucleotide CGH arrays spanning the RCA gene cluster region in human chromosome 1q32 (median resolution of 110 bp) (AMADID 040193, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). A healthy male donor sample, fully genotyped for that region, was used as hybridization control. Microarray data were extracted and visualized using the Feature Extraction Software v10.7 and Genomic Workbench Standard Edition 7.0 (Agilent Corp, Santa Clara, CA). Copy number altered regions were detected using ADM-2 (set as 5) statistic provided by DNA Analytics, with a minimum number of 5 consecutive probes. Genomic build hg19 was used for the experiment.
Project description:A custom microarray was used to measure the gene expression of NSCLC tumors. This represents a subset of samples which also have matched DNA copy number profiles from array CGH experiments
Project description:Discovery of common Asian copy number variants using a novel integrated high-resolution array CGH and massively parallel DNA sequencing. We attempted to discover common Asian copy number variants (CNVs) from the DNA of 30 Asian women (10 Korean, 10 CHB (HapMap), 10 JPT (HapMap)) using a custom-designed 24M-oligonucleotide Agilent platform (1.1M X 24 slides). The reference sample for aCGH was NA10851 (HapMap CEPH). In addition to the 30 women, 3 more individuals were analyzed as controls (AK1 (Kim, J.I. et al., 2009 Nature), NA12878 and NA19240).
Project description:To characterize genomic instability in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, we examined loss of heterozygosity, copy number loss, and copy number gain in ESCC patients from a high-risk region of China.
