Project description:Affymetrix SNP array analysis was performed on DNA extracted from whole blood samples of 7 Taiwanese patients with hyperlipidemia. Three copy number variant (CNV) regions associated significantly with hyperlipidemia were identified through genomic segmentation analysis (P<0.001). 7 male Taiwanese hyperlipidemia patients.

Project description:Due to betel nut chewing habit, oral cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death among Taiwanese men. In addition, oral cancer is the most common malignancy observed in men with 25-44 years old, alerting an urgent need to curb this disease. It is hypothesized that betel nut ingredients exhibit carcinogenic effects on the oral epithelium and alter local immune system. As a step to identify potential oncogenic gene fusions in Taiwanese oral cancer cells, total RNAs of two immortalized oral keratinocytes (CGHNK2, -K6) and five oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (C9, OC3, OEC-M1, TW2.6) were subjected to RNA-sequencing analysis, followed by an in-house bioinformatic pipeline for fusion gene detection.
Project description:We analyzed the transcriptomes of children with controlled and uncontrolled asthma in Taiwanese Consortium of Childhood Asthma Study (TCCAS). Hierarchical clustering, differentially expressed gene (DEG), weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and pathway enrichment methods were performed, to investigate important genes between two groups.
