β¦ Synopsis
This complete and practical manual on expression measurement using DNA arrays covers the existing methods (from nylon macroarrays to oligonucleotide chips) and includes detailed protocols. It has been written by practising scientists who have experienced the difficulties involved in actually using microarrays, and provides helpful advice and hints on setting up these powerful but sometimes tricky methods. Software, data mining procedures and probable future developments, which should be useful to any practising scientist interested in expression measurement, are also covered in this book. It also provides detailed protocols as well as many helpful hints to achieve experimental success and to avoid pitfalls.

Microarray analysis is a highly efficient tool for assessing the expression of a large number of genes simultaneously, and offers a new means to classify cancer and other diseases. Gene expression profiling can also be used to predict clinical outcome and response to specific therapeutic agents. Thi
