Whole-genome gene expression profiles of non-tumorous human lung tissues: UBC set

ABSTRACT: We profiled genome-wide gene expression in non-tumorous human lung tissues. The overall goal of this project is to improve our molecular understanding of various lung diseases including lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The samples from the University of British Columbia (UBC) were derived from a long-standing tissue bank started by Drs. James C. Hogg and Peter D. Paré (Ding L, Quinlan KB, Elliott WM, Hamodat M, Paré PD, Hogg JC, Hayashi S. A Lung Tissue Bank for Gene Expression Studies in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 2004;1:191-204 (PMID 17136987)). Lung specimens were obtained from patients undergoing lung surgery. Primarily this was for resection of benign or malignant lesions. Some were the dis
