Oligonucleotide microarray (DNA chip)–based hybridization analysis is a promising new technology which potentially allows rapid and cost–effective screens for all possible mutations and sequence ...

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 ...

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was developed to identify pathogenic DNA copy-number changes (e.g., duplications, deletions) on a genome-wide scale, and to map these changes to genomic ...

To identify differentially expressed genes and scan candidate molecular markers in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We constructed four subtracted cDNA libraries using suppression subtractive ...

In 1997, Juha Kononen, a postdoctoral fellow at the National Human Genome Research Institute, was pondering the significance of the recently developed DNA microarray. He was studying genetically ...

Companies in the microarray sector are trying to take the technology out of core facilities and put it into the hands of individual researchers by developing technologies such as smaller, less-costly ...
