Microarray technology: beyond transcript profiling and genotype analysis
Jörg D. Hoheisel1 About the author
Abstract
Understanding complex functional mechanisms requires the global and parallel analysis of different cellular processes. DNA microarrays have become synonymous with this kind of study and, in many cases, are the obvious platform to achieve this aim. They have already made important contributions, most notably to gene-expression studies, although the true potential of this technology is far greater. Whereas some assays, such as transcript profiling and genotyping, are becoming routine, others are still in the early phases of development, and new areas of application, such as genome-wide epigenetic analysis and on-chip synthesis, continue to emerge.
