To compare all the genes of one organism to those of another organism, we must first know how to define the entire gene sequence of each organism. However, looking at all of an organism's genes can be ...

The Geniom® RT Analyzer, a new benchtop microarray processing instrument, was presented by febit at Select Bioscience’s “Advances in Microarray Technology”. The platform complements Geniom® One, the ...

Chromosomal microarray analysis, a two-year-old gene-chip technology used to look for potential genetic abnormalities in children, has proved to be remarkably sensitive in detecting abnormalities in ...

Analysis of histological sections of disease tissues has traditionally relied on pathologist-based scoring. In an Advanced Online Publication in Nature Medicine Camp et al. describe techniques to ...

The research community's rapid acceptance of microarrays notwithstanding, technical challenges remain. Biochip developers continue to grapple with these issues while upgrading their offerings and ...

The field of proteomics has undergone rapid advancements over the last decade and protein microarrays have emerged as a promising technological platform for the challenging task of studying complex ...

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, ...

A large study from Children's Hospital Boston and the Boston-based Autism Consortium finds that a genetic test that samples the entire genome, known as chromosomal microarray analysis, has about three ...

Launched in 1990, The Human Genome Project was a monumental effort to sequence and analyze the entire human genome to understand how genetics influence health. While the Human Genome Project helped ...

Scientific advances in the field of genetics and gene-expression profiling have revolutionized the concept of patient-tailored treatment. Analysis of differential gene-expression patterns across ...

A protein microarray consists of the immobilization of proteins in organized rows and columns upon a support structure. The structure of the protein microarray allows for high-throughput analysis of ...
