7 results about "Tissue specific gene" patented technology

A method is provided for probabilistically assigning a tissue of origin to a nucleic acid in a sample, e.g., DNA in a cell-free fluid sample obtained from a human subject. A hydroxymethylation profile is generated for the sample DNA and then compared across a reference data set of hydroxymethylation profile vectors, where each hydroxymethylation profile vector identifies the hydroxymethylation profile at a specific reference locus, the tissue-specific gene associated with the reference locus, and the tissue with which the gene and reference locus are associated. A tissue of origin can be probabilistically assigned to the sample nucleic acid using the results of the comparison. Other methods of use are also provided.

Compositions and methods for inserting a nucleic acid encoding a product of interest into a genomic safe harbor locus in a cell, a population of cells, or a subject or for expressing a nucleic acid encoding a product of interest from a genomic safe harbor locus in a cell, a population of cells, or a subject are provided. Also provided are cells or populations of cells comprising a nucleic acid construct comprising a coding sequence for a product of interest inserted into a genomic safe harbor locus. Also provided are methods of identifying genomic safe harbor loci for use in specific cell or tissue types.

The invention is directed to methods of identifying woman is risk for preterm delivery. In some aspects, the methods include quantitating one or more placental or fetal-tissue specific genes in a biological sample from the woman.

The application provides a tissue-specific expression gene identification method and system based on three-dimensional space transcriptome, and belongs to the field of gene identification. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining three-dimensional space transcriptome data of a target biological individual at multiple continuous development stages, wherein the three-dimensional space transcriptome data comprises cell three-dimensional coordinates, cell annotation data and gene expression information; calculating a comprehensive tissue-specific score of each gene by using at least two parameters in a spatial expression concentration, a cell composition correction specificity parameter, a cross-development phase stability parameter and a significance parameter; and identifying genes of the target biological individual based on the corresponding comprehensive tissue-specific score of each gene to obtain tissue-specific expression genes. The application can effectively improve the identification accuracy of tissue-specific genes.
