Project description:This series represents expression profiles of 34 non-seminoma germ cell tumors (NSGCTs) from patients who received cisplatin based chemotherarpy for treatment of their disease for whom full clinical follow-up information was available. These specimens were used as a validation set to test outcome prediction models using a subset of previously profiled GCT specimens (see GEO accession #GSE3218). Keywords: Disease state analysis (good vs. poor patient outcome)
Project description:This series represents expression profiles of 34 non-seminoma germ cell tumors (NSGCTs) from patients who received cisplatin based chemotherarpy for treatment of their disease for whom full clinical follow-up information was available. These specimens were used as a validation set to test outcome prediction models using a subset of previously profiled GCT specimens (see GEO accession #GSE3218). Experiment Overall Design: Tumor tissues were collected under IRB-approved protocols at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, between 1987 and 2003. The tumor samples consist of 34 NSGCT specimens. RNA was isolated, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarrays using standard protocols. Data were processed by the RMA method.
Project description:Expression profiling of a panel of 101 adult male germ cell tumors and 5 normal testis specimens was performed on Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarrays. This data has been used to: 1) generate a gene classifier that predicts histology (see PMID 15870693). 2) identify candidate target genes on 12p, a region that is gained in almost 100% of germ cell tumors (see PMID 16424014) 3) identify pluripotency associated genes through comparison of pluripotent embryonal carcinoma vs. undifferentiated seminoma. ONGOING: 4) Identification of genes associated with patient outcome and cisplatin resistance. Keywords: germ cell tumor, histologic subtypes
Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to profile the transcriptome of 16,015 nuclei in human adult testis. This dataset includes five samples from two different individuals. This dataset is part of a larger evolutionary study of adult testis at the single-nucleus level (97,521 single-nuclei in total) across mammals including 10 representatives of the three main mammalian lineages: human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, gibbon, rhesus macaque, marmoset, mouse (placental mammals); grey short-tailed opossum (marsupials); and platypus (egg-laying monotremes). Corresponding data were generated for a bird (red junglefowl, the progenitor of domestic chicken), to be used as an evolutionary outgroup.
