For microarrays, the transition from research to clinical and diagnostic applications is well underway. Microarrays use a range of specific probes that are immobilized in known locations on a support ...

The field of DNA microarray data analysis is getting increasingly complicated as scientists develop new array technologies and analysis algorithms, yet accurate introductory information on the subject ...

BOSTON--Gene expression microarrays have made a profound impact on biomedical research. The current expectation is that this technology will extend its current role as an experimental tool for basic ...

In several fields including environmental monitoring, food manufacturing, and biomedical research, the ability to perform accurate measurements is key to a variety of studies. Whilst it is sufficient ...

A recent study highlights how DNA microarray technology enables high-throughput gene analysis, supporting variation detection, expression profiling, and clinical research. By refining probe design and ...

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 ...

Nature uses a common framework when building organisms as different as yeast, worms, fruit flies, mice, and humans. This makes it possible for scientists to learn about how our own genes work by ...

The enormous potential of miRNAs is driving new technologies for research, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. miRNAs, a class of small noncoding RNAs of 19–30 nucleotides in length, regulate ...

When it comes to enzymes, protein abundance does not necessarily translate into protein activity: Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation can dramatically alter enzyme function.

Genomatix Software GmbH today announced that it has achieved GeneChip-compatible TM status for several products with the Affymetrix Inc. (Nasdaq: AFFX) GeneChip® microarray platform and that it has ...
