Project description:To determine sensitivity of a custom 8x60k aCGH design for mosaicism of SNCA gains, a peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) DNA sample with a known heterozygous duplication (CN 3, or 50% increase in SNCA) was diluted with a control (wild type, wt) sample (CN 2, screened by MLPA) to create "artifical mosaics" (CN 2.4, 2.3, 2,25, 2.2, 2.15, 2.1). Dilutions, as well as the undiluted heterozygous sample, and the control, were tested, hybridised with Agilent reference DNA.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
