Abstract

UNLABELLED: ADAPT is an online database providing comprehensive mappings between Affymetrix probes and RefSeq and Ensembl transcripts. ADAPT was designed to help interpret microarray experiments by providing a means to explore the many-to-many relationships that exist between probes, probesets, transcripts and genes. AVAILABILITY: ADAPT can be queried via the web at http://bioinformatics.picr.man.ac.uk/adapt

Comparison of GenoType MTBC with RFLP-PCR and multiplex PCR to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex species.

The aims of the work presented here were to evaluate a commercial system based on DNA hybridization technology on nitrocellulose strips (GenoType MTBC; Hain Diagnostika, Nehren, Germany) for identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates to the species level and to compare the results with those obtained using the RFLP-PCR and multiplex PCR molecular techniques, biochemical tests and susceptibility testing. The commercial system correctly identified 102 of 103 (99.03%) strains studied, indicating it is capable of discriminating among the tuberculosis complex species.

Microarray-in-a-tube for detection of multiple viruses.

BACKGROUND: The detection of multiple viruses is important for pathogenic diagnosis and disease control. Microarray detection is a good method, but requires complex procedures for multiple virus detection. METHODS: We developed a novel PCR assay, the microarray-in-a-tube system, which integrates multiple PCR processes and DNA microarrays for multiple virus detection. A 5 x 5 oligonucleotide microarray for detecting 4 respiratory tract viruses (severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and enterovirus) with inner controls was arranged on the inner surface of a specially designed Eppendorf cap with a flat, optically transparent window. RESULTS: We were able to perform all detection processes in the encapsulated system without opening the cap. The 4 viruses were successfully amplified by one-step reverse transcription-PCR in the encapsulated tube. After the PCR process, the microarray-in-a-tube was inverted, and the fluorescence-labeled PCR products were directly hybridized on the microarray. Hybridization signals were obtained with an ordinary fluorescent microscope. The sensitivity of the system for virus detection reached 10(2) copies/microL. With the help of inner controls, the system provided reliable results without false negatives and false positives. CONCLUSIONS: The microarray-in-a-tube system is a rapid, labor-saving tool for multiple virus detection with several advantages, such as convenience, prevention of cross-contamination of the PCR products, and potential for multiple-gene detection.
