Examining the living genome in health and disease with DNA microarrays.

Focuses on the use of DNA microarrays to examine the physiology of the living genome. Information on DNA microarrays, including how they detect gene expression patterns, capture molecular pictures and deduce the condition of cells; How gene expression patterns can provide a detailed molecular picture of the pathogenic process; Implications for drug development in the discovery of disease-specific genes and pathways; Challenge of discovering the biological activities of proteins on a genomic scale.
