In each type of cell, like a muscle cell or a skin cell, different genes are expressed (turned on) or silenced (turned off). If the cells that are turned on mutate, they could—depending on what role ...

A microarray is a two-dimensional arrangement of biological samples allowing for high-throughput analysis of genetic information. DNA microarrays are commonly used to genotype multiple regions of a ...

Microarrays are a two-dimensional arrangement of biological samples, with samples placed in spots numbering in the thousands and organized into columns and rows. They allow for efficient analysis of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A multidisciplinary team of pharmaceutics and computer-science researchers at the University at Buffalo, one of very few teams in the nation applying DNA microarray technology in ...

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 ...

DNA microarrays—devices that measure gene expression—could become easier to use, thanks to a new readout method based on electrostatic repulsion. Such devices are used in biological research and ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 107, No. 4 (Jan. 26, 2010), pp. 1482-1487 (6 pages) The use of DNA microarrays to identify nucleotide variation is ...

Microarray technology has come of age as a powerful approach to revealing the genome and its dynamic expression through the application of gene-hybridization or gene-expression microarrays. While the ...

Gene expression microarray experiments are intrinsically two-phase experiments. Messenger RNA (mRNA), required for the microarray experiment, must first be derived from plants or animals that are ...

A standard Internet protocol that checks errors made during email transmissions has now inspired a revolutionary method to transform DNA microarray analysis, a common technology used to understand ...
