DNA Microarrays

DNA Microarrays

Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

RNA-seq

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while microarray-based...

Genome Annotation and Assembly

Genome Annotation and Assembly

The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique helps...

Summary

Reannotating microarray probes at the transcript level using AceView improves data analysis and identifies specific transcript variants. This transcript-level mapping redefinition complements existing Affymetrix designs for enhanced biological insights.

Transcriptomics

Background:

Accurate microarray probe annotation is crucial for extracting biological information from Affymetrix arrays.
Existing Affymetrix probe annotations have limitations, hindering routine data analysis.
Few studies have offered robust solutions for these annotation shortfalls.

Purpose of the Study:

To reannotate Affymetrix microarray probes at the transcript level using the AceView human transcript database.
To develop a new probe set definition based on transcript-level annotation.
To assess the impact of this reannotation on detecting differential gene expression and improving cross-platform concordance.

Main Methods:

Probes were reannotated by matching them to RNA transcripts in the AceView database.
A new probe set definition was created where probes map to common AceView gene transcripts.
Artificial datasets were used to determine a minimal probe set size (4) for reliable statistical summarization.

Main Results:

A transcript-level probe annotation and new probe set definition were created.
A minimum probe set size of 4 was identified as necessary for reliable statistical summarization.
The new definition successfully detected specific transcript variants in differential expression and enhanced cross-platform concordance.

Conclusions:

Transcript-level reannotation and probe set redefinition complement original Affymetrix designs.
The transcript-level mapping redefinition is recommended for secondary analysis, not as a replacement.
Custom annotation files (CDFs) are provided for compatibility with common bioinformatics software.
