| Title |
WB MZ 3a |
| Sample type |
RNA |
| |
|
| Source name |
Whole blood was collected directly into PAXgeneTM tubes (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA).
|
| Organism |
Homo sapiens |
| Characteristics |
tissue: Whole Blood
twin: 3a
|
| Extracted molecule |
total RNA |
| Extraction protocol |
Whole blood samples were collected from MZ twin pairs and processed within 24 hours of collection. Whole blood was collected directly into PAXgeneTM tubes (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA). Total RNA was extracted from PAXgeneTM tubes using the WB gene RNA purification kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA).

| Hybridization protocol |
Expression profiles were generated by hybridising 750ng of cRNA to Illumina HumanHT-12 v3.0 Beadchip according to Illumina whole-genome gene expression direct hybridization assay guide (Illumina Inc, San Diego, USA). Briefly, 500 ng of total RNA were used to generate biotinylated cRNA, which was fragmented and hybridised to an Illumina whole genome expression chip, HumanHT-12 v3.0 for 18 h at 58oC.
|
| Scan protocol |
Beadchips were then washed and stained and subsequently scanned to obtain fluorescence intensities using an Illumina Bead Array Reader (BAR). A Latin square design was used to randomise the samples on the chips and chip positions.

| Description |
Whole blood samples were collected from MZ twin pairs and processed within 24 hours of collection
|
| Data processing |
Relative expression values were generated for each transcript using Illumina Genome Studio software (Illumina Inc., San Diego). To minimise the influence of overall signal levels, which may reflect RNA quantity and quality rather than a true biological difference between individuals, the following standardisation procedures were used. Background noise detected from negative control beads was subtracted from raw expression values for each transcript. Data were then filtered for gene transcripts that were present in at least 50% of samples at p < 0.05 according to the global-error threshold calculated by Genome Studio’s cross-gene error model. To prevent the introduction of bias between the LCL and WB samples, the raw microarray data from both tissue samples were quantile normalised together. Adjusted expression levels for each transcript were transformed using a quantile transformation to achieve a stabilized variance distribution across average expression levels.
Non-normalised data have just background subtraction from the raw signals. Normalised data has been filtered for genes significantly expressed in greater than 50% of samples. Values have then been quantile normalized.
