GENE EXPRESSION Topics Enzymes: Reverse Transcriptase, DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase • Microarray • Deep Sequencing • PCR • Real-Time • Digital • Nanostring
Common Applications • Gene expression profiling • Chromatin immunoprecipitation on Chip (ChIP) • SNP detection • Alternative splicing detection
Microarray • Affymetrix • Agilent • Same idea different implementation • Pros and cons to each method
The Chips Agilent Affymetrix
Printing of Agilent Chips Probes are 60 nucleotides in length vs 25 for Affymetrix
Analysis “home-made”=low-density • Feature Extraction • Bioinformatics Agilent array
Pros and Cons • Cost • Dual color vs single • Specificity

Who is this? And what is he holding??? In 1958, he was awarded a Nobel Prize in chemistry "for his work on the structure of proteins, especially that of insulin". In 1980, he shared with Walter Gilbert half of the chemistry prize "for their contributions concerning the determination of base sequences in nucleic acids". The other half was awarded to Paul Berg "for his fundamental studies of the biochemistry of nucleic acids, with particular regard to recombinant DNA"
Sanger Sequencing Sanger program
Capillary Sequencing Machines have 1-96 capillaries
Multiple Platforms • Illumina • 454 • Solid • Nanopore/Oxford • Ion Torrent • Pacific Biosciences
Workflow for Sequencing • Depends on project- RNA or DNA • Protocols are ~90% the same for all systems
Workflow for Sequencing • Bridge PCR • Emulsion PCR
