New Electrostatic-based DNA Microarray Technique Could Revolutionize Medical Diagnostics Date: July 1, 2008 Source: DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ...

image: DNA microarrays can be easily interrogated with only the naked eye using a new electrostatic imaging technique developed in the laboratory of Jay Groves, a chemist with Berkeley Lab, UC ...

Denatured DNA prepared from a biopsy or laboratory specimen and prelabelled with fluorescent tags is then applied to the chip . Similarly, DNA that represents all the active genes in a cell can be ...

How DNA Microarrays Work. In each type of cell, like a muscle cell or a skin cell, different genes are expressed (turned on) or silenced (turned off). If the cells that are turned on mutate, ...

Microarray-based approaches are a fast, flexible and inexpensive alternative to genome sequencing for characterizing the genomes of many individuals within a species. This article reviews the ...

The heady euphoria of the late nineties, promising that DNA microarrays would be ubiquitous tools for analysing gene expression and routinely used in every molecular biology laboratory, has been ...

We have also shown the utility of microarray testing in diagnosing Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration, a recently recognized entity with aggressive behavior. Here we illustrate several examples ...

A DNA laboratory in Toronto knowingly delivered prenatal paternity test results that routinely identified the wrong biological fathers — ruling out the real dads — and left a trail of ...

One of the first efforts to apply ChIP genome wide was made by researchers in the laboratory of molecular biologist Richard Young at the Whitehead Institute. In the 2000s, Young’s team used DNA ...
