Journal ArticleDOI

TAN-1, the human homolog of the Drosophila notch gene, is broken by chromosomal translocations in T lymphoblastic neoplasms.

TL;DR: It is shown that the locus on chromosome 9 contains a gene highly homologous to the Drosophila gene Notch, which may be important for normal lymphocyte function and that alteration of TAN-1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of some T cell neoplasms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning and structural analysis of cDNAs for bcl-2 and a hybrid bcl-2/immunoglobulin transcript resulting from the t(14;18) translocation

TL;DR: The results suggest that t(14;18) translocations alter expression of the bcl-2 gene both by transcriptional activation and by abnormal posttranscriptional regulation of bCl-2 mRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleotide sequence of a t(14;18) chromosomal breakpoint in follicular lymphoma and demonstration of a breakpoint-cluster region near a transcriptionally active locus on chromosome 18

TL;DR: Structural similarities of the breakpoint with the functional diversity region-joining region (D-J) joint in this lymphoma suggest that D-J recombination enzymes played a role in the mechanism of the t(14;18) translocation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Importance of replication in microarray gene expression studies: Statistical methods and evidence from repetitive cDNA hybridizations

TL;DR: In this article, a controlled experiment was conducted to investigate inherent variability in gene expression data and the extent to which replication in an experiment produces more consistent and reliable findings by introducing a statistical model to describe the probability that mRNA is contained in the target sample tissue, converted to probe, and ultimately detected on the slide.

Importance of replication in microarray gene expression studies: Statistical methods and evidence from repetitive cDNA

TL;DR: It is concluded that designing experiments with replications will greatly reduce misclassification rates and it is recommended that at least three replicates be used in designing experiments by using cDNA microarrays, particularly when gene expression data from single specimens are being analyzed.
