Molecular Biology Dr. ChaimWachtel April 4, 2013
GENE EXPRESSION Topics • Microarray • Deep Sequencing • PCR • Real-Time • Digital • Nanostring
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
Deep Sequencing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Multiple Platforms • Illumina • 454 • Solid • Nanopore/Oxford • Ion Torrent
Workflow for Sequencing • Depends on project- RNA or DNA • Protocols are ~90% the same for all systems
Workflow for Sequencing • Bridge PCR • Emulsion PCR
