Persistent Doubts about Reproducibility and Compatability of Data Are Being Overcome One of the hottest research tools these days within the academic, biotech, and pharma communities is DNA ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have invented a technique in which DNA assays -- the key to personalized medicine -- can be read and evaluated with no need of elaborate chemical labeling or sophisticated instrumentation.

Array painting is a technique that uses microarray technology to rapidly map chromosome translocation breakpoints. Previous methods to map translocation breakpoints have used fluorescence in situ ...

Protein-binding microarray (PBM) technology provides a rapid, high-throughput means of characterizing the in vitro DNA-binding specificities of transcription factors (TFs). Using high-density, ...

Researchers in Canada have combined DNA microarrays with microfluidic devices, which are used for the precise control of liquids at the nanoscale. DNA microarrays are one of the most powerful tools in ...

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 ...

DNA microarray chips enable the parallel investigation of a given sample concerning the presence and amount of specific DNA sequences within that sample. Whereas today such chips utilize optical ...

DNA microarrays (cDNA or oligos) have become commonplace and instrumentation is available to automate the workflow process of production, hybridization, and image analysis.
