The MicroArray Quality Control (MAQC) consortium has evaluated methods for making clinically useful predictions from large-scale gene expression data. Existing clinical predictors have well-known ...

Affymetrix Inc. has announced the launch of Affymetrix University, a series of hands-on data analysis training courses that will be held in various locations throughout Europe and North America.

Participants learn how to prepare high quality fluorescently labeled gDNA then set up, hybridize and wash microarrays ready for analysis. The innovative coursework provides improved methods for ...

Batch effects are the systematic non-biological differences between batches (groups) of samples in microarray experiments due to various causes such as differences in sample preparation and ...

Microarray analysis is a rapidly evolving technology that has yielded enormous quantities of data, which are not yet fully understood. Leading scientific journals require investigators carrying out ...

Reviewed by Dr. Tomislav Meštrović, MD, Ph.D. The microarray is a very recent development in the field of biotechnology. Scientists are now able to understand the gene functions of any organism by ...

Current staging methods are inadequate for predicting the outcome of treatment of non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We developed a five-gene signature that is closely associated with survival of ...

The accurate quantification of gene expression levels is crucial for transcriptome study. Microarray platforms are commonly used for simultaneously interrogating thousands of genes in the past decade, ...
