  • Publication number: 20150220685
    Abstract: A method for determining bias across two domains comprising gene expression data. The method can comprise (a) providing a first domain and a second domain; (b) obtaining information indicative of a bias within the first domain; (c) obtaining information indicative of a bias within the second domain; and (d) using the information indicative of the bias within the first domain and the information indicative of the bias within the second domain to produce an indication of bias across the two domains.

  • Patent number: 8535878
    Abstract: The present teachings provide methods, compositions, and kits for detecting the presence of protein aggregates. In some embodiments, the protein aggregate is treated with a labeled precursor, and the labeled precursor is incorporated into the protein aggregate to form a labeled protein aggregate. The labeled protein aggregate is then measured, thus detecting the presence of the protein aggregate. In some embodiments, the labeled protein aggregate is detected by interaction of labeled precursors, for example by a proximity ligation assay.
