For microarrays, the transition from research to clinical and diagnostic applications is well underway. Microarrays use a range of specific probes that are immobilized in known locations on a support ...

The DNA marketplace is changing: the technology is maturing, whole human genome arrays, as well as those of model organisms, are beginning to make it onto the market, and researchers have more choices ...

BOSTON--Gene expression microarrays have made a profound impact on biomedical research. The current expectation is that this technology will extend its current role as an experimental tool for basic ...

A recent study highlights how DNA microarray technology enables high-throughput gene analysis, supporting variation detection, expression profiling, and clinical research. By refining probe design and ...

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 ...

Reading the fluorescent signals on microarrays that give a glimpse into cellular gene expression is typically the job of laser scanners. This technology works well, but lasers can be very cumbersome ...

Nature uses a common framework when building organisms as different as yeast, worms, fruit flies, mice, and humans. This makes it possible for scientists to learn about how our own genes work by ...

Genomatix Software GmbH today announced that it has achieved GeneChip-compatible TM status for several products with the Affymetrix Inc. (Nasdaq: AFFX) GeneChip® microarray platform and that it has ...

When it comes to enzymes, protein abundance does not necessarily translate into protein activity: Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation can dramatically alter enzyme function.
