The Oncomine™ database is an online collection of microarrays from various sources, usually cancer-related, and contains many "multi-arrays" (collections of analyzed microarrays, in a single study).
In addition, altitude and thermal amplitude are positively correlated in the array of populations analyzed (r = 0.83, p<0.05) implying that greater daily thermal amplitude is likely to be found in highland populations.
Use of this array to analyze DNA samples from large numbers of parasites will facilitate our understanding of parasite diversity and evolution and genetic mapping of important parasite traits.
The results obtained in a set of 167 accessions representing two genera and five species proved the usefulness of the array to analyze genetic diversity.
In previous studies, we used a complementary DNA expression array to analyze expression of inflammatory mediators following treatment with a pro-inflammatory stimulus consisting of IL-1β, TNFα and IFNγ and established that this stimulus induces expression of multiple inflammatory mediators including IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 [ 3].
The Taguchi robust design approach was used with an L9 orthogonal array to analyze the influence of process factors on performance parameters.
Then, we set up a custom real-time RT-PCR array to analyze the expression of 92 mRNAs related with cell proliferation and cancer in tumorigenic relative to non tumorigenic NS/PCs both under proliferating culture conditions and under serum-induced differentiation (Fig. 4B).
We used a custom qPCR array to analyze the expression of 26 JmjC-domain containing histone demethylases (Jumonji demethylases) in sorted microglia, neurons and astrocytes.
Time series analyses of data revealed the complexity of the adaptive stress response and underscore the utility of this custom-made array to analyze homeostatic adjustments to stress.
Images of Sterolgene arrays were analyzed by Array-Pro Analyzer 4.5 (Media Cybernetics, Bethesda, MD, USA).
