Description
Microarrays is an invaluable laboratory manual for anyone conducting experiments in the field of molecular biology or
medical biochemistry who needs to understand and use microarray technologies. These technologies are especially appropriate in genome
analysis, diagnostics, and studies involving differential gene expression.
Providing straightforward explanations, the authors demonstrate
proven methods for biochip application and an overview of presently available instruments, biochips, and software. Chapters cover the
different requirements for DNA and protein chips, as well as spotters and scanners. The book also covers high throughput screening, patent
research, and the minimum requirements for setting up or expanding a microarray laboratory.
Audience:
Laboratory practitioners such as students, instructors, and professionals who have knowledge in the fields of protein chemistry or molecular
biology, but need a better understanding of microarray applications, instrumentation, and software.
