Project description:Global isoform switching in esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) or precursor lesions has not been previously characterized. This form of alternative splicing has recently been recognized as highly prevalent in multiple other cancers. In this study, isoform switch analysis was performed using next generation sequencing of RNA isolated from patient tissues across a histopathological continuum, ranging from low risk Barrett’s esophagus (BE) to BE with advanced dysplasia. Patients were stratified based on esophageal tissue histopathology.
Project description:To study feasibility of gene expression profiling from FFPE tissues using NanoString nCounter platform, we designed a pilot study utilizing samples from ovarian cancer cohort. We selected samples from large-scale epidemiologic studies and clinical trials representative of a wide variety of fixation times, block ages and block storage conditions.
