Upcoming Events
‘Gene expression microarray analysis of autism spectrum disorder: from raw data to biological interpretation.’
a live webinar presented by Peter C. Roberts, Ph.D. on July 11 and July 12, 2007
Gene expression in blood of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was studied using Affymetrix GeneChip human genome U133 plus 2.0 microarrays (GEO accession GSE6575, JP Gregg et al, University of California at Davis, 20 Dec 2006). Transcriptional profiles were compared with age and gender matched, typically developing children from the general population (GP) or IQ-matched children with mental retardation or developmental delay (MR/DD).

Previous expression profiling studies of breast tumors have relied on morphologically heterogeneous tissue samples. This study used laser microdissection to capture morphologically distinct cell populations of normal and tumor tissues from mastectomy specimens from post-menopausal patients. Gene expression analysis was performed using Affymetrix U133 plus 2 Genechips. *Data source: GEO accession GSE5764

Online webinar: "Identification of biological themes in microarray data: two-group comparisons"
by N. Eric Olson, PhD, Thursday, April 12, 2007
Examine identification of differentially expressed genes and determining biological significance of gene lists use Gene Ontology terms, KEGG pathway terms and other resources for two-group comparisons. Emphasis on determining overall data quality using Affymetrix quality metrics and cluster analysis, comparison statistics and correction for multiple testing.
Several datasets will be examined in the presentation including a dataset examining a mouse model of Wilson Disease.
