Direct multiplexed measurement of gene expression with color-coded probe pairs
We describe a technology, the NanoString nCounter gene expression system, which captures and counts individual mRNA transcripts. Advantages over existing platforms include direct measurement of mRNA… Expand
Ataxia in prion protein (PrP)-deficient mice is associated with upregulation of the novel PrP-like protein doppel.
The novel locus Prnd is 16 kb downstream of the mouse prion protein (PrP) gene Prnp and encodes a 179 residue PrP-like protein designated doppel (Dpl). Prnd generates major transcripts of 1.7 and 2.7… Expand
A Genomic Regulatory Network for Development
Development of the body plan is controlled by large networks of regulatory genes. A gene regulatory network that controls the specification of endoderm and mesoderm in the sea urchin embryo is… Expand
Death receptor 5, a new member of the TNFR family, and DR4 induce FADD-dependent apoptosis and activate the NF-kappaB pathway.
Death receptor 4 (DR4) is a recently described receptor for the cytotoxic ligand TRAIL that reportedly uses a FADD-independent pathway to induce apoptosis and does not activate the NF-kappaB pathway.… Expand
A common language for physical mapping of the human genome.
In a report issued in January 1988, the National Research Council (NRC) Committee on the Mapping and Sequencing of the Human Genome, on which the present authors served, recommended a staged… Expand
Simian sarcoma virus onc gene, v-sis, is derived from the gene (or genes) encoding a platelet-derived growth factor.
The transforming protein of a primate sarcoma virus and a platelet-derived growth factor are derived from the same or closely related cellular genes. This conclusion is based on the demonstration of… Expand
Fluorescence detection in automated DNA sequence analysis
We have developed a method for the partial automation of DNA sequence analysis. Fluorescence detection of the DNA fragments is accomplished by means of a fluorophore covalently attached to the… Expand
A ligase-mediated gene detection technique.
An assay for the presence of given DNA sequences has been developed, based on the ability of two oligonucleotides to anneal immediately adjacent to each other on a complementary target DNA molecule.… Expand
Complete genomic sequence and analysis of the prion protein gene region from three mammalian species.
The prion protein (PrP), first identified in scrapie-infected rodents, is encoded by a single exon of a single-copy chromosomal gene. In addition to the protein-coding exon, PrP genes in mammals… Expand
Complete genomic sequence and analysis of 117 kb of human DNA containing the gene BRCA1.
Over 100 distinct disease-associated mutations have been identified in the breast-ovarian cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1. Loss of the wild-type allele in > 90% of tumors from patients with… Expand
