Features: This book is one of the "Modern Biotechnology Series," focusing on microarrays from a technical perspective. The book consists of 11 chapters, providing detailed explanations of gene chips (oligonucleotide chips and DNA chips) and protein chips, which have reached significant maturity and are already in practical application. Additionally, it comprehensively introduces other types of microarrays that emerged later or are relatively new, including systematic discussions on tissue chips, cell chips, and glycochips, along with their research progress. Given that microarray technology is highly operational, chapters such as gene chips, protein chips, and tissue chips, which are operationally intensive, not only cover the current state of technological development and research progress but also provide detailed descriptions of related experimental procedures. A special appendix is dedicated to experimental protocols for RNA expression profiling analysis using DNA microarrays. This book is suitable for researchers and developers engaged in microarray technology, as well as scientists working in biology and medical research. It can also serve as a reference for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in related fields.
