  • Publication number: 20040241710
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of detecting colorectal cancer in a human individual. The method comprises detecting one or more colorectal cancer-associated protein in an extracellular biological sample obtained from a human individual, wherein the presence of colorectal cancer-associated protein in said extracellular biological sample indicates colorectal cancer in said human individual. Preferred colorectal cancer-associated protein is CVA7 or CBF9. Also described herein are methods that can be used to screen candidate bioactive agents for the ability to modulate colorectal cancer. Additionally, methods and molecular targets (genes and their products) for therapeutic intervention in colorectal and other cancers are described.

  • Patent number: 6733969
    Abstract: This invention provides methods, compositions and apparatus for mapping the regulatory relationship among genes by massive parallel monitoring gene expression. In some embodiments, mutations in the up-stream regulatory genes are detected by monitoring the change in down-stream gene expression. Similarly, the function of a specific mutation in a up-stream gene is determined by monitoring the down-stream gene expression. In addition, regulatory function of a target gene can be determined by monitoring the expression of a large number of down-stream genes. The invention also provides specific embodiments for detecting p53 functional homozygous and heterozygous mutations and for determining the function of p53 mutations.

  • Publication number: 20020150932
    Abstract: Innovative systems and methods for visualizing information collected from analyzing samples are provided. The samples may include nucleic acids, proteins, or other polymers. Gene expression level as determined from analysis of a nucleic acid sample is one possible analysis result that may be visualized. In one embodiment, a computer system may display the expression levels of multiple genes simultaneously in a way that facilitates user identification of genes whose expression is significant to a characteristic such as disease or resistance to disease. Additionally, the computer system may facilitate display of further information about relevant genes once they are identified.
