Specific and non specific hybridization of oligonucleotide probes on microarrays [PDF]
Gene expression analysis by means of microarrays is based on the sequence specific binding of mRNA to DNA oligonucleotide probes and its measurement using fluorescent labels. The binding of RNA fragments involving other sequences than the intended target

Metabolic RNA labeling for probing RNA dynamics in bacteria [PDF]
Abstract Metabolic labeling of RNAs with noncanonical nucleosides that are chemically active, followed by chemoselective conjugation with imaging probes or enrichment tags, has emerged as a powerful method for studying RNA transcription and degradation in eukaryotes.

Identification of artifactual microarray probe signals constantly present in multiple sample types
The detection, identification, and quantitation of transcripts have evolved from simple Northern analysis, cDNA cloning, and sequencing to RT-PCR, microarrays, and now digital gene expression using ultra–high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq).

A Feature Selection Algorithm to Compute Gene Centric Methylation from Probe Level Methylation Data [PDF]
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic event that effects gene expression during development and various diseases such as cancer. Understanding the mechanism of action of DNA methylation is important for downstream analysis.

Probing RNA Folding Pathways by RNA Fingerprinting [PDF]
AbstractThis unit provides protocols for using native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to distinguish folding and unfolding conformers of RNA. It is useful for studying conformers that can exchange in a period of minutes or seconds, and that are thus difficult to study by solution‐based methods.

A Genetic Locus Regulates the Expression of Tissue-Specific mRNAs from Multiple Transcription Units [PDF]
129 GIX- mice, unlike animals of the congeneic partner strain GIX+, do not express significant amounts of the retroviral antigens gp70 and p30. Evidence is presented indicating that the GIX phenotype is specified by a distinct regulatory gene acting on ...

Using amino-labeled nucleotide probes for simultaneous single molecule RNA-DNA FISH. [PDF]
Using amino-labeled oligonucleotide probes, we established a simple, robust and low-noise method for simultaneous detection of RNA and DNA by fluorescence in situ hybridization, a highly useful tool to study the large pool of long non-coding RNAs being ...

Insights into the development of chemical probes for RNA [PDF]
Over the past decade, the RNA revolution has revealed thousands of non-coding RNAs that are essential for cellular regulation and are misregulated in disease. While the development of methods and tools to study these RNAs has been challenging, the power and promise of small molecule chemical probes is increasingly recognized.
