A new method that barcodes cells by assigning different intensities of fluorescent dyes to differently treated samples allows the simultaneous processing of a large number of samples, as one pool, thus increasing the throughput of multidimensional cytometry.
A deceptively simple signal processing method allows researchers to quantify complex and irregular patterns of high frequency neuronal activity in whole brain at single-neuron resolution by deconvolving the slow Ca2+ signals generated by neuronal spikes.
Analysis of gene expression is critical to understanding the molecular underpinnings of normal and disease processes. Although in recent years the field has been flooded with microarray data, a multitude of non–array-based methods for studying the expression of genes are on the market. Laura Bonetta takes a look at them.
