miRNA Analysis with the New miRLinkTM array: human, mouse and rat miRNAs on one
array

This webinar will describe a new miRNA profiling service, using the custom miRLinkTM
v11.0 Array, offered exclusively through Asuragen. miRLink v11.0 Array contains
the entire human, mouse and rat Sanger 11.0 content on a single array and utilizes
the time-tested CodeLink® technology. miRLink v11.0 miRNA array is a very robust
platform for miRNA expression profiling. Using 500ng input of total RNA mass into
the array sample preparation workflow, this custom array delivers reproducible results
(CV<3%, all sources of variation) with high sensitivity (<5 amol) and specificity;
allowing discrimination of highly-related miRNA family members. Each array also
includes controls to monitor labeling and hybridization to ensure consistent, high
quality results. miRLink miRNA profiling service has been optimized to support a
wide range of sample types, including difficult samples such as those from FFPE
tissues. The competitive cost of the miRLink array and service allows profiling
of a significantly larger number of samples for a greater statistical power. As
a result, miRLink addresses an important need for a cost effective yet robust and
high performing miRNA array with validated Sanger content.
Analyzing Copy Number Variants data across array platforms – SNPs scanning and aCGH

This webinar will discuss analysis of data from Affymetrix SNP 6.0 and Agilent aCGH
platforms. Multi-sample Copy Number analysis based on high-resolution aCGH and SNP
platforms is actively used in such areas as cancer research, stem cell research
and personalized medicine development. Data analysis and interpretation becomes
an important issue when datasets grow to hundreds or thousands of samples. This
online workshop will focus on accurate identification of de novo chromosomal anomalies
and regions of abnormally frequent aberrations. We will use case studies from actual
biomedical research projects to illustrate different types of problems that can
be successfully solved with aCGH and the data analysis techniques developed by our
groups.
These include:- Stem cell line stability: identification of de novo chromosomal anomalies
in stem cells,
- Cancer research: association of recurrent chromosomal aberrations with variation
in clinical variables,
- Personalized medicine development: identification of DNA Copy Number profiles for
patients responding to a treatment.
Through these examples, participants will be able to evaluate the power of SNP and
aCGH analyses in their studies.
