Background: Gene expression analysis has emerged as a major biological research area, with real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-QPCR) being one of the most accurate and widely used techniques for expression profiling of selected genes. In o ...
Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) is considered one of the most important factors influencing lymphatic endothelial cell biology. The goal of this work was to characterize the gene expression response by lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to VE ...
Background: Proteins are the primary regulatory agents of transcription even though mRNA expression data alone, from systems like DNA microarrays, are widely used. In addition, the regulation process in genetic systems is inherently non-linear in nature, a ...
This tutorial paper considers the problem of reconstructing Genetic Regulatory Networks (GRNs) from gene expression measurements. Among various modeling frameworks that have been proposed for these biological systems, we focus on PieceWise Affine (PWA) mod ...
Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor dysfunction, dementia, psychiatric symptoms, and weight loss, eventually leading to death. Postmortem analysis of the brains of HD patie ...
BACKGROUND: The Affymetrix technology is nowadays a well-established method for the analysis of gene expression profiles in cancer research studies. However, changes in gene expression levels are not the only way to link genes and disease. The existence of ...
For better understanding of genetic mechanisms underlying clinical observations, it is interesting to determine which genes and clinical traits are interrelated. In the last few years a consistent amount of research in genomics has been done concerning cor ...
Quantitative reverse transcriptase real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) is a robust method to quantitate RNA abundance. The procedure is highly sensitive and reproducible as long as the initial RNA is intact. However, breaks in the RNA due to chemical or enzymatic clea ...
BACKGROUND: In the field of neuroscience microarray gene expression profiles on anatomically defined brain structures are being used increasingly to study both normal brain functions as well as pathological states. Fluorescent tracing techniques in brain t ...
