TESTING FOR DIFFERENTIALLY EXPRESSED GENES AND KEY BIOLOGICAL CATEGORIES IN DNA MICROARRAY ANALYSIS (2007)

SARTOR, MAUREEN A

DNA microarrays are a revolutionary technology able to measure the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously, providing a snapshot in time of a tissue or cell culture’s transcriptome....

Intensity-based hierarchical Bayes method improves testing for differentially expressed genes in microarray experiments (2006)

Sartor, Maureen A, Tomlinson, Craig R, Wesselkamper, Scott C, Sivaganesan, Siva, Leikauf, George D, Medvedovic, Mario

Abstract Background The small sample sizes often used for microarray experiments result in poor estimates of variance if each gene is considered independently. Yet accurately estimating variability...

A new method to remove hybridization bias for interspecies comparison of global gene expression profiles uncovers an association between mRNA sequence divergence and differential gene expression in Xenopus (2006)

Sartor, Maureen A., Zorn, Aaron M., Schwanekamp, Jennifer A., Halbleib, Danielle, Karyala, Saikumar, Howell, Michael L., ...

The recent sequencing of a large number of Xenopus tropicalis expressed sequences has allowed development of a high-throughput approach to study Xenopus global RNA gene expression. We examined the...

Butylhydroquinone protects cells genetically deficient in glutathione biosynthesis from arsenite-induced apoptosis without significantly changing their prooxidant status (2005)

Kann, Simone, Estes, Cameron, Reichard, John F., Huang, Ming-ya, Sartor, Maureen A., Schwemberger, Sandy, ...

Arsenic, first among the top environmentally hazardous substances, is associated with skin, lung, liver, kidney, prostate and bladder cancer. Arsenic is also a cardiovascular and a central nervous...

Ligand-Independent Regulation of Transforming Growth Factor β1 Expression and Cell Cycle Progression by the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor▿ †

Chang, Xiaoqing, Fan, Yunxia, Karyala, Saikumar, Schwemberger, Sandy, Tomlinson, Craig R., Sartor, Maureen A., ...

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that mediates the toxic effects of its xenobiotic ligands and acts as an environmental checkpoint during the cell cycle....

Gene Expression Profiling Identifies Lobe-Specific and Common Disruptions of Multiple Gene Networks in Testosterone-Supported, 17β-Estradiol- or Diethylstilbestrol-Induced Prostate Dysplasia in Noble Rats12

Tam, Neville N C, Szeto, Carol Ying-Ying, Sartor, Maureen A, Medvedovic, Mario, Ho, Shuk-Mei

The xenoestrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) is commonly believed to mimic the action of the natural estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2). To determine if these two estrogens exert similar actions in prostate...
