A Synopsis of Serum Biomarkers in Cutaneous Melanoma Patients by Pierre Vereecken, Frank Cornelis, Nicolas Van Baren, Valérie Vandersleyen, Jean-François Baurain

“…However, the poor sensitivity and specificity of those markers and many other molecules are serious limitations for their routine use in both early (AJCC stage I and II) and advanced stages of melanoma (AJCC stage III and IV). Microarray technology and proteomic research will surely provide new candidates in the near future allowing more accurate definition of the individual prognosis and prediction of the therapeutic outcome and select patients for early adjuvant strategies.…”

R-locus for roaned coat is associated with a tandem duplication in an intronic region of USH2A in dogs and also contributes to Dalmatian spotting. by Takeshi Kawakami, Meghan K Jensen, Andrea Slavney, Petra E Deane, Ausra Milano, Vandana Raghavan, Brett Ford, Erin T Chu, Aaron J Sams, Adam R Boyko

“…The tandem duplication is in an intronic region of usherin gene (USH2A), which was perfectly associated with roaning but absent in non-roaned dogs. We detected strong selection signals in this region characterized by reduced nucleotide diversity (π), increased runs of homozygosity, and extended haplotype homozygosity in Wirehaired Pointing Griffons and Australian Cattle Dogs (typically roaned breeds), as well as elevated genetic difference (FST) between Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (roaned) and Labrador Retriever (non-roaned). …”

Examination of the functions and mechanism of KCP in mediating paclitaxel resistance in cervical squamous carcinoma cells by Yue He, Jian-Qing Xu, Jing-Jing Zhang, Zhen-You Liu, Chen Ji, Yang Liu, Yun-Fan Wang, Ming Wang, Yu-Mei Wu, Yan Wang

“…Key cell functions were assessed by colony formation assay, measurement of cell proliferation by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and FACS-based detection of apoptosis. The downstream mechanism of KCP-mediated resistance to paclitaxel was then examined using human gene chip detection and IPA bioinformatics analysis, and qPCR analysis was used to validate its downstream genes.Results①Functional studies of SiHa cells showed that KCP knockout (sgRNA) inhibited colony formation and proliferation of SiHa cells in the presence of paclitaxel (p<0.05). ②Using a whole human genome microarray, a total of 491 differentially expressed genes were identified in KCP knockout versus the NC SiHa cells. …”

Evaluation of gene expression classification studies: factors associated with classification performance. by Putri W Novianti, Kit C B Roes, Marinus J C Eijkemans

“…The MAQC II study on cancer classification problems has found that performance was affected by factors such as the classification algorithm, cross validation method, number of genes, and gene selection method. In this paper, we study the hypothesis that the disease under study significantly determines which method is optimal, and that additionally sample size, class imbalance, type of medical question (diagnostic, prognostic or treatment response), and microarray platform are potentially influential. …”
