Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE15626: Using high-density exon arrays to profile gene expression in closely related species (Exon 1.0 ST) GSE15665: Using high-density exon arrays to profile gene expression in closely related species (HJAY) Refer to individual Series
Project description:We used Affymetrix GeneChip® Human Exon 1.0 ST Arrays to identify alternative splicing events in 15 samples of PDAC compared to 6 non-tumor samples. Several commercial and open source software approaches for the analysis of differential splicing were tested and a subset of overlapping results was validated using RT-PCR and sequencing. Splicing variants could be validated in several genes closely related to cancer. Pathway analysis of genes predicted to be alternatively spliced revealed an enrichment of genes in categories closely related to cell-cell interactions and kinase activity.
Project description:The mechanisms of action of the combined targeted therapy bevacizumab erlotinib in late stage non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer was investigated by means of whole genome exon arrays. mRNA from peripherial blood was extracted at baseline and 24h after initiation of the therapy and hybridized on Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Arrays
Project description:Gene-level expression profiles of 7 Aip knock-out (triplicates from each) and 9 Aip wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines were studied using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Exon 1.0 ST Arrays
Project description:Global comparisons of gene expression profiles between species provide significant insight into gene regulation, evolutionary processes, and disease mechanisms. In this work, we describe a flexible and intuitive approach for global expression profiling of closely related species, using high-density exon arrays designed for a single reference genome. The high-density probe coverage of exon arrays allows us to select the identical set of perfect-match probes for measuring expression levels of orthologous genes. This eliminates a serious confounding factor in probe affinity effects of species-specific microarray probes, and enables direct comparisons of estimated expression indexes across species. Keywords: analysis of gene expression in tissues We conducted Human Exon 1.0 array profiling of RNAs from three chimpanzee cerebellums and three chimpanzee livers
Project description:We used Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Human Exon 1.0 ST Arrays to identify alternative splicing events in 15 samples of PDAC compared to 6 non-tumor samples. Several commercial and open source software approaches for the analysis of differential splicing were tested and a subset of overlapping results was validated using RT-PCR and sequencing. Splicing variants could be validated in several genes closely related to cancer. Pathway analysis of genes predicted to be alternatively spliced revealed an enrichment of genes in categories closely related to cell-cell interactions and kinase activity. 15 samples of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and 6 non tumor pancreatic samples were analyzed for alternative splicing events
Project description:The latest version of microarrays released by Affymetrix, the GeneChip Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (gene arrays), are designed in a similar fashion as exon arrays, which enables to identify differentially expressed exons, rather than only the expression level of whole transcripts. Here, we propose an extension, Gene Array Analyzer (GAA), to our previously published Exon Array Analyzer (EAA). GAA enables to analyse gene arrays on exon level and therefore supports to identify alternative splicing with gene arrays. To show the applicability of GAA, we used gene arrays to profile alternative splice events during the development of the heart. Further re-analysis of published gene arrays could show, that some of these splice events reoccur under pathological conditions. The web interface of GAA is user friendly, functional without set up and freely available at http://GAA.mpi-bn.mpg.de.
