Microarray Analysis

MICROARRAY ANALYSIS IMPARTS THE KNOWLEDGE TO APPLY THIS REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY

Microarray Analysis by Mark Schena (Wiley) hailed as the next revolution in molecular biology, enables scientists to examine the expression levels of thousands of genes at the same time. Spawning a multibillion-dollar commercial enterprise, this burgeoning technology impacts every field of biomedicine, agriculture and the basic and clinical sciences.  This high-tech blend of biology and technology is unraveling the mysteries of the human genome and expediting the development of safer drugs and new genetic tests.  An essential resource for anyone involved in the life sciences, Microarray Analysis by Mark Schena (Wiley) is the first textbook treatment of this innovative technique ever published.

Written by a world-renowned expert Mark Schena, Microarray Analysis contains coverage of biochemical principles, theory, science, and applications of microarray technology. Featuring a rigorous, yet reader-friendly, critique of the diverse ways genome data can be utilized in academic and industrial research, this authoritative text enables investigators in any discipline to gain a working knowledge of possible applications.  Featuring discussions of bioinformatics, novel arrays, and applications for clinical studies, as well as a separate chapter on the business of this technology, this well-organized text includes margin definitions, chapter-end questions, and tables, diagrams, photos, and illustrations that facilitate learning. Microarray Analysis concludes with the author's perspective on the future of microarray analysis and its applications.
Microarray Analysis contains an abundance of never-before published material, Including:
-Biochemistry and genomics in microarray analysis
-Target and probe preparation
-Microarray manufacture and detection
-Data analysis and modeling
-Methodological architecture
-Gene expression profiling
-Genetic screening and diagnostics

Microarray Analysis provides any professional or student in the biomedical sciences with the skills necessary to utilize this essential technology.
