Microarrays were introduced to run multiple assays on a single platform. Since then, researchers developed DNA and protein microarrays to study both transcription and expression of genes. Protein microarray technology represents a powerful tool to get an insight into living systems. However, despite their enormous potential, the fabrication of prot...

BackgroundDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is a primary complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). The pathology of DN is still vague, and diagnostic accuracy is not enough. This study was performed to identify miRNAs and genes that have possibilities of being used as therapeutic targets for DN in type 2 DM.MethodsHuman miRNA data GSE51674 and gene data GSE1...

BackgroundInfantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common benign tumor in children. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in tumorigenesis. However, the expression levels and biological functions of lncRNAs in IH have not been well-studied. This study aimed to analyze the expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in proliferating and involu...

BackgroundHemagglutinin is a major surface protein in influenza A virus (IAV), and HA2 is relative conserved among different IAVs. It will be meaningful to identify broad-spectrum epitopes based on the HA2 protein.ResultsOverlapping peptides of the HA2 protein of the H5N1 IAV A/Mallard/Huadong/S/2005 were synthesized and loaded on modified silica g...

In the medical field, distinguishing genes that are relevant to a specific disease, let’s say colon cancer, is crucial to finding a cure and understanding its causes and subsequent complications. Usually, medical datasets are comprised of immensely complex dimensions with considerably small sample size. Thus, for domain experts, such as biologists,...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumor and prevalent cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In this study, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of patients with CRC with the aim of better understanding the molecular mechanism and key genes in CRC. Four gene expression profiles including, GSE9348, GSE41328, GSE41657,...

BackgroundDNA methylation (DNAm) profiling has emerged as a powerful tool for characterizing the placental methylome. However, previous studies have focused primarily on whole placental tissue, which is a mixture of epigenetically distinct cell populations. Here, we present the first methylome-wide analysis of first trimester (n = 9) and term (n = ...

BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic autoimmune connective tissue disease. However, early RA is difficult to diagnose due to the lack of effective biomarkers. This study aimed to identify new biomarkers and mechanisms for RA disease progression at the transcriptome level through a combination of microarray and bioinformati...

Feed constitutes about 70% of the total expenditure of poultry production. Maximizing the feed efficiency in juvenile period is essential to achieve low production cost. The efficiency of feed utilization was measured by RFI (residual feed intake) by calculating the difference between an individual animal’s observed and its expected feed intake. Th...

Multiplex immunoassays are important tools in basic research and diagnostics. The ability to accurately quantify the presence of several antigens within an individual sample all at once has been useful in developing a proteomics view of biology. This in turn has enabled the development of disease-associated immunodiagnostic panels for better progno...
