β¦ Synopsis
DNA microarrays enable the transcript levels of an entire genome to be measured simultaneously. Recent improvements in array manufacture, sample preparation, and data analysis are shifting emphasis from the technology itself to experimental design and the broader range of biological questions that can be addressed. The past year has also seen a transition from experiments involving a small number of conditions, with an emphasis on the specific genes induced or repressed, to experiments involving hundreds of conditions in which patterns of global gene expression are used to classify disease specimens and discover gene functions and drug targets. Basic research, medicine, and pharmacology are all likely to benefit from these advances.

Expression profiling using DNA microarrays is starting to come of age. The past year has seen significant advances in the number, scope and quality of studies that incorporate expression profiling experiments. Attention is starting to move on from making DNA microarrays to appropriate experimental d
Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is still a major problem in organ transplantation, and its genetic and molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. We used DNA microarrays to investigate the gene expression profiles in ACR. We hypothesized that changes of gene expression in grafts could also be det
## Abstract High throughput microarrays were initially developed to analyse the expression of many RNA transcripts in parallel. The technology has since been adapted to a variety of applications, one of which is the analysis of the genome to study DNA dosage and sequence content. Advances in microa
DNA arrays have become the preferred method for large-scale expression measurement. Such data are needed in view of the large amounts of sequence data available: expression levels in a number of different tissues or situations provide a first step toward functional characterisation of new entities r
