DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

23.2K
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...

Genome Copying Errors02:46

Genome Copying Errors

5.6K
DNA replication is a well-evolved process that copies millions of base pairs with high fidelity during each cell division. Occasionally a wrong base or a long stretch of wrong bases may get added to the daughter strands. If the errors are left unchecked, cells might accumulate several mutations that might endanger their  survival. Therefore, the copying errors are checked and repaired at three levels.

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

25.3K
Chromatin is the massive complex of DNA and proteins packaged inside the nucleus. The complexity of chromatin folding and how it is packaged inside the nucleus greatly influences  access to genetic information. Generally, the nucleus' periphery is considered transcriptionally repressive, while the cell's interior is considered a transcriptionally active area.

Position-effect Variegation02:32

Position-effect Variegation

7.3K
In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Microarray Technology

Background:

  • Affymetrix microarrays are widely used for gene expression analysis.
  • Systematic errors can impact the reliability of correlation analyses in large datasets.
  • Previous studies have not identified this specific distance-dependent artifact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report and model a novel systematic error in Affymetrix microarrays.
  • To investigate the impact of probe distance on correlation measurements.
  • To develop and validate a method for correcting this positional artifact.

Main Methods:

  • Statistical modeling of probe-pair correlations on microarrays.
  • Analysis of distance-dependent artifacts across different chip designs.
  • Development and implementation of a bias correction algorithm.

Main Results:

  • A previously undescribed systematic error causing spurious excess correlations was identified.
  • The artifact is dependent on the physical distance between probes on the microarray.
  • The yeast S98 microarray exhibited particularly high levels of this positional artifact.

Conclusions:

  • The identified positional artifact can significantly affect correlation analyses in gene expression studies.
  • A novel algorithm effectively corrects this bias, preserving data integrity.
  • The corrected datasets enhance the reliability of downstream analyses of genomic data.
