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 ...

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.

Current microarray analysis uses 'chips' containing either 25-residue oligonucleotides synthesized by photolithography or cDNAs placed by robotic spotting. In the April Nature Biotechnology, Hughes et ...

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 ...

Small molecule microarrays allow screening of biomolecules such as peptides and carbohydrates. By immobilizing these small molecules on a microarray, interactions can be quickly assessed through a ...

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 ...
