Description
| General description | The book covers the issues surrounding gene expression and protein microarrays for pharmacogenomic and pharmacoproteomic applications. The author critically assesses those studies that have helped define applications in genomics and proteomics, explains gene expression microarray applications, and examines the utility of the protein microarray. He covers alternative substrates and the preparation of various surface chemistries together with their suitability for immobilization of nucleic acids and proteins. He delineates the mechanics of microarraying including environmental conditions, printer and pin performance. The book supplies protocols for printing nucleic acids and proteins and a discussion of other important parameters such as print buffers (inks) and factors influencing print quality. |
