Microarrays can be manufactured to different sizes with the number of probes on a microarray ranging from ten to five million. The fabrication of microarrays, particularly how the probes are ...

Progress in biology is driven in part by technology, and periodically a new technology enters the scene that radically transforms laboratory investigation. When such landmark technologies first appear ...

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 ...

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 ...

Tissue microarrays combines tens to hundreds of paraffin-embedded tissue cores into a single paraffin block. It is a practical and highly effective technique for high-throughput analyses of various ...
