cDNA microarray-based CGH (Microarray-CGH) is a useful technique for detecting genomic aberrations with a high resolution. However, the criteria for determining a genomic alteration have not been determined. We evaluated the genome-wide measurement of copy number of each gene in normal gastric and placenta tissues with both sex-matched, direct and sex-mismatched, indirect designs using 17K cDNA microarray. The results revealed the range of genomic copy number of normal tissues to be +/-0.3 of the log(2) ratio (gain >0.3, loss <-0.3) in the autosomal genes with direct and indirect designs. The copy number at a gene level from the X chromosomal genes using the direct and indirect sex-mismatched designs was +/-0.68 of the log(2) ratio (amplification >0.68, deletion <-0.68). In summary, the suggested method can be used as a guideline for analysis of genomic aberration using a Microarray-CGH in both direct and indirect designs.

The human Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), as a member of the human γ herpes viruses (HHV), is known to be linked with distinct tumor types. It is a double-stranded DNA virus and its genome encodes among others for 48 different microRNAs (miRs). Current research demonstrated a strong involvement of certain EBV-miRs in molecular immune evasion mechanisms of infected cells by, e.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited immune disorder where phagocytes can't produce necessary reactive oxygen species, leading to severe bacterial and fungal infections due to specific gene mutations in the NADPH oxidase enzyme complex.
- The study focuses on analyzing genetic challenges related to X-linked CGD (XL-CGD) in three families, detailing unique mutations and their consequences at the molecular level.
- A range of advanced techniques, including next-generation sequencing and microarray analysis, were utilized to diagnose these uncommon genetic variants and their effects on splicing and gene expression in XL-CGD cases.

Background & Objectives: Despite much clinical and laboratory research that has been performed to explore the mechanisms of Parkinson's disease (PD), its pathogenesis remains elusive to date. Therefore, this study aimed to identify possible regulators of neurodegeneration by performing microarray analysis of the zebrafish PD model's brain following rotenone exposure.
Methods: A total of 36 adult zebrafish were divided into two groups: control (n = 17) and rotenonetreated (n = 19).

Background: Q-PCR is the method of choice for PCR- based transcriptomics and validating microarray-based and RNA-seq results. Proper application of this technology requires proper normalization to correct as much as possible errors propagating during RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis.
Objectives: The investigation was performed to find stable reference genes in sunflower under shifting in ambient temperature.

ink, a flavoring and coloring agent in food, has attracted considerable attention due to its various pharmacological activities. Our previous study showed that the melanin of ink (MSMI) can alleviate oxidative damage and delay aging in D-galactose(D-gal)-induced aging mice. This study aimed to reveal the possible mechanisms of the anti-aging effect of MSMI.
