Retrieves information about a single platform. Combines several API calls.

platformInfo(
  platform,
  request = NULL,
  ...,
  file = NULL,
  return = TRUE,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  memoised = FALSE
)

Arguments

platform

Can either be the platform ID or its short name (e.g: GPL1355). Retrieval by ID is more efficient. Only platforms that user has access to will be available.

If a vector of length>1 is provided return all matching platform objects similar to allPlatforms but without access to additional parameters. request parameter cannot be specified for vector inputs

request

Character. If NULL retrieves the platform object. Otherwise

  • datasets: Retrieves experiments in the given platform. Parameters:

    • offset: Optional, defaults to 0. Skips the specified amount of objects when retrieving them from the database.

    • limit: Optional, defaults to 20. Limits the result to specified amount of objects. Use 0 for no limit.

  • annotations: Retrieves the annotation file for the given platform. If you set a file path, the downloaded file will be a .gz file.

  • elements: Retrieves the composite sequences (elements/probes) for the given platform. Parameters:

    • offset: As in datasets

    • limit: As in datasets

  • specificElement Retrieves a specific composite sequence (element) for the given platform. Paramaters:

    • probe: Required. Can either be the probe name or ID.

  • genes Retrieves the genes on the given platform element. Parameters:

    • probe: Required. Can either be the probe name or ID.

    • offset: As in datasets

    • limit: As in datasets

...

Use if the specified request has additional parameters.

file

Character. File path. If provided, response will be saved to file

return

Logical. If the response should be returned. Set to false when you only want to save a file

overwrite

Logical. If TRUE, existing files will be overwritten. If FALSE a warning will be thrown and no action is taken.

memoised

Logical. If TRUE a memoised version of the function will be used which is faster for repeated requests. Use forgetGemmaMemoised to clear memory.

Value

A data.frame or a list depending on the request

A common feature of most neurological diseases is the degeneration of neurons, which results from an inappropriate activation of apoptosis. Drugs that inhibit neuronal apoptosis could thus be candidates for therapeutic intervention in neurodegenerative disorders. We have identified (and recently reported) a chemical called GW5074 that inhibits apoptosis in a variety of cell culture paradigms of neuronal apoptosis. Additionally, we have found that GW5074 reduces neurodegeneration and improves behavioral outcome in a mouse model of Huntington's disease. Although GW5074 is a c-Raf inhibitor, we know very little about the molecular mechanisms underlying its neuroprotective action. Identifying genes that are regulated by GW5074 in neurons will shed insight into this issue. We believe that neuroprotection by GW5074 involves the regulation of several genes. Some of these genes are likely to be induced whereas the expression of other genes might be inhibited. The specific aim is to identify genes that are differentially expressed in neurons treated with GW5074. We believe that neuroprotection by GW5074 involves the regulation of several genes. Some of these genes are likely to be induced whereas the expression of other genes might be inhibited. Cultures of cerebellar granule neurons undergo apoptosis when switched from medium containing levated levels of potassium (high K+ or HK) to medium containing low potassium (LK). Although cell death begins at about 18 h, we have found that the by 6 h after LK treatment these neurons are irreversibly committed to cell death. We will treat cerebellar granule neuron cultures with LK medium (which induces them to undergo apoptosis) or with GW5074 (1 uM). We will extract RNA at two time-points after treatment: 3 h and 6 h. Analysis at the two different time-points will show us whether changes in expression of specific genes is transient or sustained or whether the changes occurs early or relatively late in the process. Neuronal cultures will be prepared from 1 week old Wistar rats. The cultures will be maintained in culture for 1 week before treatment. Following treatment the cells will be lysed and total RNA isolated. The RNA will be stored at -80oC and shipped to the microarray facility for analysis. The experiment will be done in triplicate. Thus, for each time-point (3 or 6h treatment) we will be hope to provide 3 sets of samples (each set coming from a different culture preparation and containing lysates from cells treated with LK or GW5074). Having samples from 3 independent cultures will mitigate any expression differences resulting from subtle variations in culture quality or in the preparation or quality of RNA.\nDate GSE2872 Last Updated: Jul 06 2005\nContributors: S R D'Mello\nIncludes GDS1837.\n Update date: Jun 09 2006.\n Dataset description GDS1837: Analysis of cultured cerebellar granule neurons in low potassium medium 3 and 6 hours following treatment with the c-Raf inhibitor GW5074.

Identifying genes that are regulated by GW5074 in neurons will shed insight into this issue. We believe that neuroprotection by GW5074 involves the regulation of several genes. Some of these genes are likely to be induced whereas the expression of other genes might be inhibited. The specific aim is to identify genes that are differentially expressed in neurons treated with GW5074. We believe that neuroprotection by GW5074 involves the regulation of several genes. Some of these genes are likely to be induced whereas the expression of other genes might be inhibited. Cultures of cerebellar granule neurons undergo apoptosis when switched from medium containing levated levels of potassium (high K+ or HK) to medium containing low potassium (LK). Although cell death begins at about 18 h, we have found that the by 6 h after LK treatment these neurons are irreversibly committed to cell death. We will treat cerebellar granule neuron cultures with LK medium (which induces them to undergo apoptosis) or with GW5074 (1 uM). We will extract RNA at two time-points after treatment: 3 h and 6 h. Analysis at the two different time-points will show us whether changes in expression of specific genes is transient or sustained or whether the changes occurs early or relatively late in the process. Neuronal cultures will be prepared from 1 week old Wistar rats. The cultures will be maintained in culture for 1 week before treatment. Following treatment the cells will be lysed and total RNA isolated. The RNA will be stored at -80oC and shipped to the microarray facility for analysis. The experiment will be done in triplicate. Thus, for each time-point (3 or 6h treatment) we will be hope to provide 3 sets of samples (each set coming from a different culture preparation and containing lysates from cells treated with LK or GW5074). Having samples from 3 independent cultures will mitigate any expression differences resulting from subtle variations in culture quality or in the preparation or quality of RNA.\nDate GSE2872 Last Updated: Jul 06 2005\nContributors: S R D'Mello\nIncludes GDS1837.\n Update date: Jun 09 2006.\n Dataset description GDS1837: Analysis of cultured cerebellar granule neurons in low potassium medium 3 and 6 hours following treatment with the c-Raf inhibitor GW5074.

A common feature of most neurological diseases is the degeneration of neurons, which results from an inappropriate activation of apoptosis. Drugs that inhibit neuronal apoptosis could thus be candidates for therapeutic intervention in neurodegenerative disorders. We have identified (and recently reported) a chemical called GW5074 that inhibits apoptosis in a variety of cell culture paradigms of neuronal apoptosis. Additionally, we have found that GW5074 reduces neurodegeneration and improves behavioral outcome in a mouse model of Huntington's disease. Although GW5074 is a c-Raf inhibitor, we know very little about the molecular mechanisms underlying its neuroprotective action. Identifying genes that are regulated by GW5074 in neurons will shed insight into this issue. We believe that neuroprotection by GW5074 involves the regulation of several genes. Some of these genes are likely to be induced whereas the expression of other genes might be inhibited. The specific aim is to identify genes that are differentially expressed in neurons treated with GW5074. We believe that neuroprotection by GW5074 involves the regulation of several genes. Some of these genes are likely to be induced whereas the expression of other genes might be inhibited. Cultures of cerebellar granule neurons undergo apoptosis when switched from medium containing levated levels of potassium (high K+ or HK) to medium containing low potassium (LK). Although cell death begins at about 18 h, we have found that the by 6 h after LK treatment these neurons are irreversibly committed to cell death. We will treat cerebellar granule neuron cultures with LK medium (which induces them to undergo apoptosis) or with GW5074 (1 uM). We will extract RNA at two time-points after treatment: 3 h and 6 h. Analysis at the two different time-points will show us whether changes in expression of specific genes is transient or sustained or whether the changes occurs early or relatively late in the process. Neuronal cultures will be prepared from 1 week old Wistar rats. The cultures will be maintained in culture for 1 week before treatment. Following treatment the cells will be lysed and total RNA isolated. The RNA will be stored at -80oC and shipped to the microarray facility for analysis. The experiment will be done in triplicate.

A common feature of most neurological diseases is the degeneration of neurons, which results from an inappropriate activation of apoptosis. Drugs that inhibit neuronal apoptosis could thus be candidates for therapeutic intervention in neurodegenerative disorders. We have identified (and recently reported) a chemical called GW5074 that inhibits apoptosis in a variety of cell culture paradigms of neuronal apoptosis. Additionally, we have found that GW5074 reduces neurodegeneration and improves behavioral outcome in a mouse model of Huntington's disease. Although GW5074 is a c-Raf inhibitor, we know very little about the molecular mechanisms underlying its neuroprotective action. Identifying genes that are regulated by GW5074 in neurons will shed insight into this issue. We believe that neuroprotection by GW5074 involves the regulation of several genes. Some of these genes are likely to be induced whereas the expression of other genes might be inhibited. The specific aim is to identify genes that are differentially expressed in neurons treated with GW5074. We believe that neuroprotection by GW5074 involves the regulation of several genes. Some of these genes are likely to be induced whereas the expression of other genes might be inhibited. Cultures of cerebellar granule neurons undergo apoptosis when switched from medium containing levated levels of potassium (high K+ or HK) to medium containing low potassium (LK). Although cell death begins at about 18 h, we have found that the by 6 h after LK treatment these neurons are irreversibly committed to cell death. We will treat cerebellar granule neuron cultures with LK medium (which induces them to undergo apoptosis) or with GW5074 (1 uM). We will extract RNA at two time-points after treatment: 3 h and 6 h. Analysis at the two different time-points will show us whether changes in expression of specific genes is transient or sustained or whether the changes occurs early or relatively late in the process. Neuronal cultures will be prepared from 1 week old Wistar rats. The cultures will be maintained in culture for 1 week before treatment. Following treatment the cells will be lysed and total RNA isolated. The RNA will be stored at -80oC and shipped to the microarray facility for analysis. The experiment will be done in triplicate. Thus, for each time-point (3 or 6h treatment) we will be hope to provide 3 sets of samples (each set coming from a different culture preparation and containing lysates from cells treated with LK or GW5074). Having samples from 3 independent cultures will mitigate any expression differences resulting from subtle variations in culture quality or in the preparation or quality of RNA.\nDate GSE2872 Last Updated: Jul 06 2005\nContributors: S R D'Mello\nIncludes GDS1837.\n Update date: Jun 09 2006.\n Dataset description GDS1837: Analysis of cultured cerebellar granule neurons in low potassium medium 3 and 6 hours following treatment with the c-Raf inhibitor GW5074.
