Microarray Market Is Growing as Applications for Diagnostics and Research Are Realized Although DNA microarrays are just beginning to be investigated for diagnostics, they are becoming key tools for ...

For the cell biologist, identifying changes in gene expression using DNA microarrays is just the start of a long journey from tissue to cell. We discuss how chip users can first filter noise ...

Microarray technology has been applied to a variety of different fields to address fundamental research questions. The use of microarrays, or DNA chips, to study the gene expression profiles of ...

Detecting pathogens, whether from natural diseases or biological weapons, is about to get faster and more convenient, thanks to a new technique that can sense harmful DNA and immediately alert a ...

Because these capabilities are under genetic control, the history of a metastasis is characterized by complex gene-expression patterns, which cDNA microarrays are well suited to track. Single-stranded ...

Hitachi Software Engineering Co. Ltd. and a Japanese venture DNA Chip Research Inc. have jointly developed DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) chips that carry about the same number of genes as the full human ...

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 ...

Following the Silicon Valley pattern of jamming more power into less space, Santa Clara's Affymetrix will disclose today that it has packed most of the human genome onto two DNA chips. Previously, ...

A robotic inkjetlike nozzle places viral RNA on a microarray to populate it with more than 100 variations bits and pieces of RNA called markers, that together identify the exact strain of the virus.
