Every decade or so, it seems, a new laboratory technique comes along which promises to revolutionize the way we study biology. In the 70s it was molecular cloning; in the 80s it was PCR; and in the ...

Expression noise is inherent to microarray-based measurement of gene expression. Noise can be defined as gene expression variation that does not correlate with the biology or behavior being studied ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a typical microarray study, experimental RNA samples are compared to a reference sample and expression ratios are clustered. A new study of the effects of sex, aging and genotype on gene expression ...

Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced that its secure online custom microarray design tool now includes probe design capability. The eArray v4.5 is designed to enable scientists to harness the ...

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: ...

Like it or not, biologists have to deal increasingly in informatics as their experiments generate ever larger and more complex data sets. Few laboratories have the resources to develop their own ...

Consider the ranking of genes using data from replicated microarray time course experiments, where there are multiple biological conditions, and the genes of interest are those whose temporal profiles ...

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 ...
