In each type of cell, like a muscle cell or a skin cell, different genes are expressed (turned on) or silenced (turned off). If the cells that are turned on mutate, they could—depending on what role ...

DNA microarray chips enable the parallel investigation of a given sample concerning the presence and amount of specific DNA sequences within that sample. Whereas today such chips utilize optical ...

DNA microarrays—devices that measure gene expression—could become easier to use, thanks to a new readout method based on electrostatic repulsion. Such devices are used in biological research and ...

A standard Internet protocol that checks errors made during email transmissions has now inspired a revolutionary method to transform DNA microarray analysis, a common technology used to understand ...

Processes Involved in Using DNA Microarray Instrumentation in Protein Microarray Workflow Protein microarrays offer the ability to measure protein expression and antibody binding in a high-throughput ...
