Project description:The Purpose of this series of experiments is to identify copy number variations, duplications, and deletions in human embryonic stem (hES) cell lines deposited to the National Stem Cell bank and reveal the difference between different hES cell lines. CGH can achieve these aims at higher resolution. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization
Project description:Sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene, which has improved the characterization of microbial community, has made it possible to detect a low level Helicobacter pylori (HP) sequences even in HP-negative subjects which were determined by a combination of conventional methods. This study was conducted to obtain a cutoff value for HP colonization in gastric mucosa biopsies and gastric juices by the pyrosequencing method.

Microbial DNA from gastric mucosal samples [gastric antrum (n=63, mucosal biopsy), follow-up sample on gastric antrum (n=16, mucosal biopsy), and gastric body (n=18, mucosal biopsy)] and gastric juices (n=4, not mucosal biopsy) was amplified by nested PCR using universal bacterial primers, and the 16S rRNA genes were pyrosequenced.
Project description:summary : Glomerular Transcriptome from European Renal cDNA Bank subjects and living donors. Samples included in this analysis have been previously analyzed using older CDF definitions and are included under previous GEO submissions - GSE47183 (chronic kidney disease samples), and GSE32591 (IgA nephropathy samples).
Project description:Orthohantaviruses are rodent-borne viruses that can cause severe disease in humans but remain asymptomatic in their natural hosts. Increasing outbreaks and ecological changes raise important public health concerns. Understanding how these viruses interact with host cells is essential, particularly in reservoir species. Using RNA sequencing, the study compares cellular responses to different orthohantaviruses in bank vole kidney and respiratory cells. The results identify shared and virus- or tissue-specific regulatory factors linked to infection outcomes. Note that biological material originates from immortalized epithelial cell lines derived from bank vole (Myodes glareolus, NCBI Taxonomy ID: 447135). Mus musculus was selected in controlled vocabulary fields due to repository limitations and because mouse orthologs were used for functional annotation.
Project description:Establishment of a tumor bank, consisting of tissue samples of tumor patients (benign and malign tumors) and healthy people as controls. The tissue samples will be collected systematically together with the corresponding clinical data. The biological samples, the clinical date together with prospective experimental date constitute the entity of the tissue tumor bank.
This tumor bank for tissue samples, together with our tumorbank for blood samples (NCT01763125) combined constitute the entity "Tumorbank".
