Riassunto

Using chips composed of thousands of spots, each with the capability of holding DNA molecules corresponding to a given gene, DNA microarray technology has enabled researchers to measure simultaneously gene expression across the genome. As with other large-scale genomics approaches, microarray technologies are broadly applicable across disciplines of life and biomedical sciences, but remain daunting to many researchers. This guide is designed to demystify the technology and inform more biologists about this critically important experimental technique.

• Cohesive overview of the technology and available platforms, followed by detailed discussion of experimental design and analysis of microarray experiments
• Up-to-date description of normalization methods and current methods for sample amplification and labeling
• Deep focus on oligonucleotide design, printing, labeling and hybridization, data acquisition, normalization, and meta-analysis
• Additional uses of microarray technology such as ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) with hybridization to DNA arrays, microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), and cell and tissue arrays

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Microarray Technology in Practice is an exciting new volume presenting cutting-edge research on DNA microarray technology. As with other large-scale genomics approaches, microarray technologies are broadly applicable across disciplines of life and biomedical sciences, but remain daunting to many researchers. This comprehensive volume is a guide designed to demystify the technology and inform biologists about this critically important experimental technique. Expert authors highlight the utility of the technology using examples from human health and disease, such as malaria and cancer diagnostics. Microarray Technology in Practice provides the reader with an understanding of the rationale behind each of the analysis techniques and experimental methods used rather than focusing on complex underlying mathematics.|Microarray Technology in Practice is an exciting new volume presenting cutting-edge research on DNA microarray technology.
