Primepcr™Assay Validation Report PrimePCR™Assay Validation Report Gene Information Gene Name programmed cell death 6 interacting protein Gene Symbol PDCD6IP Organism Human Gene Summary This gene encodes a protein that functions within the ESCRT pathway in the abscission stage of cytokinesis in intralumenal endosomal vesicle formation and in enveloped virus budding. Studies using mouse cells have shown that overexpression of this protein can block apoptosis. In addition the product of this gene binds to the product of the PDCD6 gene a protein required for apoptosis in a calcium-dependent manner. This gene product also binds to endophilins proteins that regulate membrane shape during endocytosis. Overexpression of this gene product and endophilins results in cytoplasmic vacuolization which may be partly responsible for the protection against cell death. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosome 15.

Detected Coding Transcript(s) This is a list of the Ensembl transcript ID(s) that this assay will detect. Details for each transcript can be found on the Ensembl website at www.ensembl.org. Amplicon Context Sequence This is the amplicon sequence with additional base pairs added to the beginning and/or end of the sequence. This is in accordance with the minimum information for the publication of real-time quantitative PCR experiments (MIQE) guidelines. For details, please refer to the following publication, "Primer Sequence Disclosure: A Clarification of the MIQE Guidelines" (Bustin et al 2011). Chromosome Location This is the chromosomal location of the amplicon context sequence within the genome. Assay Design Exonic: Primers sit within the same exon in the mRNA transcript and can potentially co-amplify genomic DNA. If performing gene expression analysis, it is suggested that the samples be treated with a DNase to eliminate potential unwanted signal from contaminating genomic DNA. Exon-exon junction: One primer sits on an exon-exon junction in mRNA. When performing gene expression analysis, this design approach will prevent unwanted signal from contaminating genomic DNA. Intron-spanning: Primers sit within different exons while spanning a large intron in the mRNA (intron is greater than 750bp). When performing gene expression analysis, this design approach should limit potential unwanted signal from contaminating genomic DNA. Small intron-spanning: Primers sit within different exons with a short intron in between (intron is smaller than 750bp). Small introns may not prevent unwanted signal from contaminating genomic DNA. Efficiency Assay efficiency was determined using a seven-point standard curve from 20 copies to 20 million copies. While an efficiency of 100% represents a perfect doubling of template at every cycle and is ideal, typical ranges of good assay efficiency are between 90-110%. For difficult targets, assay efficiency outside of this range are accepted and reported accordingly. R2 The R2 represents the linearity of the standard curve and how well the standard curve data points fit the linear regression line. Acceptable values are >0.98. Page 4/5 PrimePCR™Assay Validation Report cDNA Cq Cq value obtained from 25ng of cDNA transcribed from universal RNA when performing wet-lab validation of the assay. Note: Not all genes will be expressed at a detectable level in the universal RNA sample. cDNA Tm Melting temperature of the amplicon when running a melt curve analysis. gDNA Cq Cq value obtained when running the assay with 2.5ng of genomic DNA. This is more than a moderate level of genomic DNA contamination. Intron-spanning and exon-exon junction assay designs can minimize or eliminate genomic DNA detection. Note: Genomic DNA contamination is often present at variable levels. If concerned about genomic DNA contamination, the genomic DNA contamination control assay is recommended to run with your sample to determine if genomic DNA levels are sufficient to negatively impact results. Specificity This value is the percent of specific amplicon reads as measured by next generation sequencing (NGS). While 100% specificity is desirable, small decreases in specificity (<1%) can be due to NGS read errors. More significant reductions are likely due to co-amplification of homologous regions. Note: Since gene expression can be cell type and condition specific, the exact level and impact of co-amplification in a given sample is impossible to predict. If co-amplification is detected, it should be taken into consideration and reported when analyzing gene expression results. Page 5/5.

The genetic contribution to human T2D and related metabolic disorders is evident, and mostly follows polygenic inheritance. The TALLYHO/ JngJ (TH) mice are a polygenic model for T2D characterized by obesity, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose uptake and tolerance, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia.

Three visualization methods integrative, a wide variety of data must be gathered (or are employed and compared: 2D painting of a cross section estimated) in order to generate a convincing model.
