A single microarray can provide information on the expression of tens of thousands of genes. The amount of information generated by a microarray-based experiment is sufficiently large that no single ...

Results generated with the use of microarrays should be properly described and deposited in one of the public databases prior to review. We examine the last two years of the journal's publications in ...

In each type of cell, like a muscle cell or a skin cell, different genes are expressed (turned on) or silenced (turned off). If the cells that are turned on mutate, they could—depending on what role ...

The main steps involved and limitations of microarray analysis will be encountered. Two stages can be distinguished in microarray experiments: a pre-microarray experiment phase (tissue handling) and ...

Now that gene expression microarray experiments are routine, the challenge is to extract accurate intelligence from the data they produce. The problem isn’t inaccuracies in the analysis software or ...

A new study by 64 renowned scientists may bring us one step closer to personalized medical treatment -- that is, medical treatment tailored to each person's unique genetic make-up and medical ...

A standard Internet protocol that checks errors made during email transmissions has now inspired a revolutionary method to transform DNA microarray analysis, a common technology used to understand ...

A survey of scientists developing bioprocesses found efficiency to be the top concern, with pressure growing each year to “produce more, do it more quickly, and do so with fewer resources.” 1 Yet, ...

The research community's rapid acceptance of microarrays notwithstanding, technical challenges remain. Biochip developers continue to grapple with these issues while upgrading their offerings and ...

Scientific advances in the field of genetics and gene-expression profiling have revolutionized the concept of patient-tailored treatment. Analysis of differential gene-expression patterns across ...
