DNA Microarrays

21.9K
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...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental microbiology
  • Molecular biology

Background:

  • Microarrays are crucial for analyzing microbial communities.
  • Existing microarrays face limitations in broad functional and phylogenetic coverage for fungal communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a functional biodiversity microarray (EcoChip) prototype for analyzing fungal communities.
  • To enable the incorporation of next-generation sequencing data for enhanced analysis.
  • To achieve broad functional and phylogenetic coverage in environmental samples.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a dual probe set (DPS) for detecting functional enzyme and phylogenetic barcoding transcripts.
  • Utilizing conserved domain-specific probes for functional gene expression and dedicated barcoding probes for phylogenetic information.
  • Employing chemically labeled total RNA preparations for reproducible and unbiased microarray signals.

Main Results:

  • The EcoChip successfully identified specific degradation activities in environmental samples with high phylogenetic resolution.
  • Reproducible and unbiased signals were obtained using chemical labeling, avoiding enzymatic steps.
  • Detected ITS precursor rRNA for the first time in a microarray experiment, confirming the quantification of transcriptionally active fungal communities.

Conclusions:

  • The EcoChip microarray provides high phylogenetic resolution for analyzing fungal communities.
  • It enables selective quantification of transcriptionally active fungal populations.
  • The platform supports high sample throughput suitable for various molecular biology laboratories.
