Project description:To identify mechanisms of genetic regulation within the decidual tissue of a retrospectively ascertained cohort of preeclamptic and non-preeclamptic Norwegian women.
Project description:28 Streptomyces strains isolated from common scab lesions of potato tubers from a wide geographic range in Norway, were selected for microarray analysis. The selected strains were subjected to species identification by microarray, 16S phylogenetic analysis and PCR; and microarray-based comparative genome analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of S. turgidiscabies and S. europaeiscabiei in Norway. 28 Norwegian Streptomyces strains were hybridized in duplicates, one S.turgidiscabies strain (St32) and one S.scabies strain (ATCC49173) were hybridized in 4 replicates. Two out of 64 hybridizations failed (replicate hybridizations of Norwegian strains 33 and 44), for a total of 62 samples. Normalization was based on log-ratios against reference strain.
Project description:RNA-seq analysis of total RNA isolated from patient-derived organoids established from eight individuals. The organoids are genotyped with regards to rs2910686. The analysis aimed at characterizing the epithelial gene expression changes in ERAP2 proficient vs. ERAP2 deficient patient-derived organoids. ***Please note that raw data is not provided as Norwegian law does not allow public access to human sequences raw data
Project description:Using a large representative sample of postmenopausal women in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) postgenome study, we investigated blood gene expression changes due to intra-technical variability, normal inter-individuality (age, body mass index, fasting status), and exposure variables (smoking, hormone therapy and medication use) at proportion and level of real life situation revealing mechanistic insights of these effects mirrored in blood.
