Regulatory networks involving different cell types control inflammation, morphogenesis and tissue homeostasis. Cell-type-specific transcriptional profiling offers a powerful tool for analyzing such cross-talk but is often hampered by mingling of cells with ...
Mammalian Hox genes encode transcription factors that are crucial for proper morphogenesis along the various body axes. Despite their extensive structural and functional characterization, the nature of their target genes remains elusive. We have addressed ...
Identification of the regulatory structures in genetic networks and the formulation of mechanistic models in the form of wiring diagrams is one of the significant objectives of expression profiling using DNA microarray technologies and it requires the deve ...
Previous microarray studies on breast cancer identified multiple tumour classes, of which the most prominent, named luminal and basal, differ in expression of the oestrogen receptor alpha gene (ER). We report here the identification of a group of breast tu ...
This work presents a simple microfluidic device with an integrated thin-film heater for studies of DNA hybridization kinetics and double-stranded DNA melting temperature measurements. The heating characteristics of the device were evaluated with a novel, n ...
High-d. microarrays of attoliter vol. elements can be created within minutes in a parallel and effortless manner by using self-assembly of nanometer-size components based on biol. recognition. These ultrasmall vols. allow localization of single mols., scre ...
The past few years we have witnessed a tremendous surge of interest in so-called array-based miniaturised analytical systems due to their value as extremely powerful tools for high-throughput sequence analysis, drug discovery and development, and diagnosti ...
RNA binding to high-density oligonucleotide arrays has shown tantalizing differences with solution experiments. We analyze here its sequence specificity, fitting binding affinities to sequence composition in large datasets. Our results suggest that the flu ...
Prolactin is an ancient hormone, with different functions in many species. The binding of prolactin to its receptor, a member of the cytokine receptor superfamily, results in the activation of different intracellular signaling pathways, such as JAK2/STAT5, ...
Oligonucleotide microarrays are based on the hybridization of labeled mRNA molecules to short length oligonucleotide probes on a glass surface. Two effects have been shown to affect the raw data: the sequence dependence of the probe hybridization propertie ...
