  • METHODS AND NUCLEIC ACIDS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION ASSOCIATED WITH TISSUE CLASSIFICATION
    Publication number: 20090191548
    Abstract: The present application provides methods and nucleic acids the classification of a biological sample. This is achieved by the analysis of the expression status of at least one of the genes selected from Table 1 as disclosed.
    Type: Application

  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DIFFERENTIATING TISSUES OR CELL TYPES USING EPIGENETIC MARKERS
    Publication number: 20090170089
    Abstract: The present invention provides, inter alia, a method for generating a genome-wide epigenomic map, comprising a correlation between methylation variable CpG positions (MVP) and genomic DNA sample types. MVP are those CpG positions that show a variable quantitative level of methylation between sample types. Particular genomic regions of interest (ROI) provide preferred marker sequences that comprise multiple, and preferably proximate MVP, and that have novel utility for distinguishing sample types. The epigenic maps have broad utility, for example, in identifying sample types, or for distinguishing between and among sample types. In a preferred embodiment the epigenomic map is based on methylation variable regions (MVP) within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), and has utility, for example, in identifying the cell or tissue source of a genomic DNA sample, or for distinguishing one or more particular cell or tissue types among other cell or tissue types.
