Synopsis:

Microarray technology is more accessible than ever, and an ever-widening field of scientists is using this technology. However, the manufacture, experimental design, and analysis of microarrays are not always straightforward, and researchers new to the field run into technical and theoretical roadblocks that can hinder progress with this powerful new technology. This text addresses two audiences - the core facility manager who produces, hybridizes, and scans arrays, and the basic research scientist who will be performing the analysis and interpreting the results. User friendly coverage and detailed protocols are provided for the technical steps and procedures involved in many facets of microarray technology.

Review:

From the reviews:

"The book offers a broad coverage of many of the most important aspects of microarray technology ... . Despite the wide field broached by this book, one of its chief successes lies with the fact that in each chapter the authors provide a clear review of every step of the technique, including both its potential and pitfalls. This allows all readers, especially beginners, to understand the development and impact of this important technique. ... Readers will find this beginner’s guide book very informative ... ."
