Alternative graphical representations of genotypes in a pedigree

Three representations of the conditional independences due toMendelian segregation of genes in a pedigree are proposed. Thecomputational costs of performing calculations using the techniqueof peeling with each of these representations is compared byconsidering the weights of triangulations of the graph producedby each representation.     

Simulating realistic zero loop pedigrees using a bipartite Prufer code and graphical modelling.

Graph algorithms previously developed by the authors are adapted to simulate pedigrees similar to those used in genetic linkage studies which associate disease phenotypes with specific genomic locations. Pedigrees are chosen uniformly at random from the set of those with specified numbers of individuals and matings and which contain no loops. Summary statistics from pedigrees generated in this way can be used to check real pedigrees for anomalies due to biased sampling or phenotypic effects on the pedigree structure.     

CD8+T-bet+ cells as a predominant biomarker for inclusion body myositis

Background

Myositis is a heterogeneous group of muscular auto-immune diseases with clinical and pathological criteria that allow the classification of patients into different sub-groups. Inclusion body myositis is the most frequent myositis above fifty years of age. Diagnosing inclusion body myositis requires expertise and is challenging. Little is known concerning the pathogenic mechanisms of this disease in which conventional suppressive-immune therapies are inefficacious.

基因组序列CGR图形表示的多重分形分析

为了更好地描述基因组序列CGR(chaos-game representation)图形的分形特征,引入多重分形理论进行分析。通过研究3种概率集对标度不变性范围的影响,选取出标度不变性最好的概率集,计算光滑的广义维数谱和多重分形谱。结果表明:以相对概率组成概率集时标度不变性最好,而且标度不变性随尺度变化可被分为3个不同的区域,这反映了基因组序列不同长度的序列片段有不同的分布规律。可见,多重分形方法可以用于描述基因组序列CGR图形的分形特征。     

The AMeX method: a multipurpose tissue-processing and paraffin-embedding method. III. Extraction and purification of RNA and application to slot-blot hybridization analysis.

RNA was extracted from tissues processed by a new fixation and paraffin-embedding method (the AMeX method) and examined by Northern blot analysis and slot-blot analysis. The RNA extraction method for AMeX-processed tissue sections after the deparaffinization step was the same as that for fresh materials. The total amount of cellular RNA extracted from AMeX-processed mouse liver tissue was slightly less than that extracted from fresh tissue. In tissues of malignant lymphoma, the total amount of cellular RNA extracted from 25 sections each 20 microns thick was about 1.6-1.8 micrograms/mm2, regardless of the histological subtype and period of storage. The extracted RNA was moderately degraded, and usually could not be used for Northern blot hybridization analysis. The intensity of ethidium bromide staining and the hybridization signals of RNA extracted from AMeX-processed tissues were usually reduced in comparison with RNA from fresh material, but specific signals could be detected by slot-blot hybridization analysis. We have demonstrated previously that the AMeX method preserves high-molecular-weight DNA and various antigens. Since the present study showed that information on mRNA can be obtained from AMeX-processed tissue, the versatility and usefulness of this method were further proven.
