Project description:Gene expression profiling of CCSK in comparison with non-neoplastic foetal and adult kidney Total RNA extracted from 22 frozen CCSKs and 6 adult non-neoplastic kidneys and comercially obtained RNA from 4 foetal kidneys, were hybridized to Illumina humanHT-12 v4.0 Expression BeadChip at the SCIBLU Lund University Sweden (http://www.lth.se/sciblu).
Project description:We introduce FACIL (http://www.cmbi.ru.nl/FACIL), a fast, reliable tool to evaluate nucleic acid sequences for non-standard codes that detects alternative genetic codes even in species distantly related to known organisms. Results are visualized in a Genetic Code Logo. To illustrate the use of our method, we analysed several contigs derived from the mitochondrial genome of the foraminifer Globobulimina pseudospinescens. These are particularly challenging data, as the genome is highly fragmented and incomplete. Approximately 10,000 single-cell Globobulimina pseudospinescens organisms were isolated by hand from Gullmar Fjord Sweden sediment. After washing, total DNA was extracted and sequenced by Illumina sequencing. The reads were assembled using Edena. To illustrate the use of our method, we analysed several contigs derived from the mitochondrial genome of the foraminifer Globobulimina pseudospinescens, an organism without any sequenced relatives in the databases. These are particularly challenging data, as the genome is highly fragmented and incomplete.

Project description:This MS data set was used as validation data for an exploratory proteomics study of biomarkers in osteoarthritis (OA) using SOMAscan assay data. We analyzed human synovial fluid from three groups with the two methods: 1) deceased donors with mildly degenerated cartilage and/or meniscus, which is a well-known characteristic of OA, 2) deceased donors with no degeneration as controls and 3) total knee replacement patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis. We conducted gaussian graphical network analyses of proteins from group 1 and 2 using SOMAscan assay data, and included the 800 aptamers/proteins with largest absolute log2 fold changes in the network construction. We found 102 differentially connected proteins, which of 31 were also present in the MS data set. After filtering out non-proteotypic peptides, proteins with only one peptide used for identification across all samples and proteins with more than 50% missing values, we ended up with 21 proteins. We analyzed these proteins by 1) estimating correlation between the methods on log2 standardized data sets and 2) compared log2 fold changes and 95%CIs by linear mixed effect model with quantification on the protein level as the outcome variable, adjusted for age and sex. Most proteins shown a positive correlation for the two methods. The comparison of log2 fold changes and 95%CIs between the methods show similar results for mild degeneration group when compared to healthy controls, whereas the results for the comparison between healthy controls and late stage OA group show dissimilarities for a few proteins.<br><br>Shared first authors: Martin Rydén, Amanda Sjögren<br>Authors: Patrik Önnerfjord, Aleksandra Turkiewicz, Jon Tjörnstrand*<br>Last authors: Neserin Ali (neserin.ali@med.lu.se), Martin Englund (martin.englund@med.lu.se)<br>Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, Lund University<br>*Department of Orthopedics, Skåne University Hospital, Sweden
Project description:This dataset included samples with high hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that were collected from four different cohorts: the Division of Clinical Genetics, Lund University, Sweden. All samples were genotyped using Affymetrix SNP Array or Illumina's BeadArray platform. This dataset has been used for copy number aberrations analysis for high hyperdiploid ALL.
