We reviewed the options for the manufacture and use of DNA microarrays in the original Chipping Forecast 1 in 1999. Since then, the number of companies that produce microarrays equipment and reagents ...

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 ...

Oligonucleotide microarray (DNA chip)–based hybridization analysis is a promising new technology which potentially allows rapid and cost–effective screens for all possible mutations and sequence ...

Analysis of histological sections of disease tissues has traditionally relied on pathologist-based scoring. In an Advanced Online Publication in Nature Medicine Camp et al. describe techniques to ...

The Geniom® RT Analyzer, a new benchtop microarray processing instrument, was presented by febit at Select Bioscience’s “Advances in Microarray Technology”. The platform complements Geniom® One, the ...

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 ...

Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) uses mRNA from a sample to create complementary DNA (cDNA) fragments for amplification and sequencing using high-throughput sequencing technology. Credit: ...

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 ...
