Human cancer is characterized by somatic copy number alternation and unique gene expression profiles.
Here we describe sequence diversity and unique gene expression profiles of multiple expansin-related proteins identified in the basidiomycete, Phanerochaete carnosa.
Persisters are in a particular physiological state with low levels of translation but a unique gene expression profile [27], associating the switch off of genes encoding metabolic proteins together with operons encoding toxin-antitoxin pairs switched on.
Exocrine, endocrine, and mesenchymal tumors displayed unique gene expression profiles.
These 44 genes provide a unique gene expression profile indicative of activation in DCs and providing important biological insight into the host response mediated by DCs.
Unique gene expression profiles were also identified which distinguish alcoholic liver disease and hepatitis C as well as hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection [15], [16].
This is consistent with a recent study which used extensive microarray analysis and also showed that distinct TLR2 ligands did not induce unique gene expression profiles [18].
The finding that spherulocytes show unique gene expression profiles among the four differentiated hemocyte subsets in hemolymph and HPO cells [9] supports this hypothesis.
Recently, a similar phenomena was observed at the gene expression level, where animals that passed through dauer larval stage revealed unique gene expression profiles compare to adult animals that did not [17].
The results revealed that each type of SECNT embryo had a unique gene expression profile that was strictly dependent upon the type of donor cells, although there was considerable variation among the individual profiles within each group.
