One of the most amazing phenomena in biology is the precisely coordinated expression of thousands of genes in an organism: every gene must be expressed at the right time, in the right place. Not ...

The human genome project was undertaken to determine the human DNA sequence and analyze variation among individuals. To make use of this information, tools were developed that could collect and ...

Microarray analysis of human multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions has revealed marked differences in gene expression between autopsy tissue from MS patients compared with similar tissue from individuals ...

Microarrays are used to detect the expression of a diverse range of thousands of genes. They include microscopic slides that can be printed with a spot of a known sequence of DNA. This sequence then ...

Different applications have different requirements, so researchers need to carefully weigh their options when deciding whether to switch to a new platform. [© WavebreakmediaMicro – Fotolia.com] With ...

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 ...

Small molecule microarrays allow screening of biomolecules such as peptides and carbohydrates. By immobilizing these small molecules on a microarray, interactions can be quickly assessed through a ...
