  • Oligonucleotide arrays to monitor gene expression and methods for making and using same
    Publication number: 20060010513
    Abstract: The present invention provides an oligonucleotide array capable of identifying genes and related pathways involved with the induction of a particular phenotype by a cell line, e.g., the genes and related pathways involved with the induction of transgene expression by the cell line. The invention is particularly useful when there is little or no information about the genome of the cell line being studied, because it provides methods for identifying consensus sequences for known and previously undiscovered genes, and for designing oligonucleotide probes to the identified consensus sequences. Additionally, when the array is to be used to determine optimal conditions for expression of a transgene by the cell line, the invention teaches methods of including oligonucleotide probes to transgene sequences in the array. The invention also provides methods of using the array to identify genes and related pathways involved with the induction of a particular cell line phenotype.
