It is a conditioning paradigm in which the animal learns to control the application of an unconditioned stimulus (US), in this case, a foot shock, by appropriately reacting to a conditioned stimulus (CS) preceding the US, such as a light cue. The first stage of avoidance learning is usually to escape from the US. With continued training, anticipatory reactions appear which enable the animal to avoid the US altogether. In the active avoidance test, the rodent is placed into a shuttle box and is trained to move to the opposite side of the box in response to a cue that signals an incoming foot shock. Movement to the opposite side of the chamber in response to the presentation of the shock-predictive cue alone is regarded as active avoidance, whereas movement to the opposite side of the chamber only after receiving foot shock is regarded as an escape response. jsmith 2012-08-27T04:31:31Z measurement_method_ontology MMO:0000302 active avoidance test using a two-way shuttle box apparatus Active avoidance requires performing a specific behavior in order to escape or avoid the aversive stimulus.

The passive avoidance task is be carried out in a shuttle box with a light chamber and a dark chamber separated by a doorway (the step-through version of the task). Given that illuminated environments are unpleasant to rodents, when placed in the light chamber, they are led into the preferred dark compartment by its innate photophobia. During habituation, they’re allowed to do so, but in the conditioning phase of the passive avoidance test, the animal will receive a foot shock when he crosses to the dark chamber. His innate behavior of seeking a darker environment will thereby become associated with an aversive stimulus.

DNA methylation assays are molecular techniques used to detect, map, and quantify 5-methylcytosine (5mC) modifications in DNA, which regulate gene expression and serve as biomarkers for various diseases. There are many methods of DNA methylation assay that include bisulfite sequencing (single-base resolution), methylation-sensitive microarrays (high-throughput), and antibody-based enrichment (ELISA). slaulederkind 2026-02-26T10:35:09Z measurement_method_ontology MMO:0000867 DNA methylation assay This is any method which assesses the extent of DNA methylation in cells or tissue.

PMID:26751487 This is any method which assesses the extent of DNA methylation in cells or tissue by use of a high throughput array. Methylation arrays enable quantitative interrogation of methylation sites in specific regions of the genome or genome wide assessment (Epigenome-Wide Association Studies [EWAS]). Array-based methylation studies can provide important information related to the regulation of gene expression. slaulederkind 2026-02-26T10:54:27Z GEO:GPL28271 PMID:35145108 https://genomics.umn.edu/service/illumina-methylation-microarrays DNA Methylation Array methylation microarray Infinium Methylation Screening Array MSA methylation screening array measurement_method_ontology MMO:0000868 high-throughput DNA methylation profiling by array This is any method which assesses the extent of DNA methylation in cells or tissue by use of a high throughput array.

PMID:29566144 https://www.illumina.com/techniques/microarrays/methylation-arrays.html This is a method which assesses transcript expression and structure in single cell nuclei. Following tissue processing and isolation of nuclei, sample RNA is purified, fragmented, reverse transcribed to cDNA with the addition of sequencing primers, sequenced and analyzed. Unlike single cell RNA-seq, this method does not require viable, intact cells and can be used on frozen or archived samples. caripark 2026-02-27T16:07:40Z sNuc-seq assay single nuclei RNA-seq assay single nucleus RNA sequencing assay snRNA-seq assay measurement_method_ontology MMO:0000869 single nucleus RNA-seq assay This is a method which assesses transcript expression and structure in single cell nuclei.
