Microarrays: Preparation, Microfluidics, Detection Methods, and Biological Applications

摘要

In the advancement of high throughput methods to study biological systems, microarrays have demonstrated dramatic progress over the past decade. DNA microarrays, in particular, have become a routine tool for studying gene expression and various aspects of genomics. Microarray technology is not without its challenges and limitations, however, and the contents of the 17 chapters of this book highlight novel approaches that may address some of those issues and offer suggestions of new strategies on the horizon. Developments in the field of microarrays occur at a rapid pace, which is one reason why it is difficult to find good books on the subject. To its credit, this book covers some topics at the forefront of the methodology, with quite recent key references.
