Reviewed by Dr. Tomislav Meštrović, MD, Ph.D. The microarray is a very recent development in the field of biotechnology. Scientists are now able to understand the gene functions of any organism by ...

We examine emerging consensus points for five key components of microarray analysis — design, preprocessing, inference, classification and validation. Biological replication is important in the design ...

Microarrays permit the analysis of gene expression, DNA sequence variation, protein levels, tissues, cells and other biological and chemical molecules in a massively parallel format. Robust microarray ...

Genetic abnormalities have been associated with 6 to 13% of stillbirths, but the true prevalence may be higher. Unlike karyotype analysis, microarray analysis does not require live cells, and it ...

The massive increase in information on the human DNA sequence and the development of new technologies will have a profound impact on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The ...

Reviewed by Dr. Tomislav Meštrović, MD, Ph.D. Microarray or biochip is a lab-oriented microscope slide that is usually made of glass, silicon chip, or nylon membrane. It is a 2D array (sometimes 3D) ...

More than 30% of the world population suffers from allergy. Allergic individuals are characterized by the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against innocuous environmental allergens.

A survey of scientists developing bioprocesses found efficiency to be the top concern, with pressure growing each year to “produce more, do it more quickly, and do so with fewer resources.” 1 Yet, ...
