PHILADELPHIA -- Using customized DNA arrays to assess the activity of 4,500 different genes in a leukemic form of lymphoma known as Sezary syndrome, researchers at The Wistar Institute have identified ...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus that can cause life-threatening disease in immunocompromised individuals, and it is the leading viral cause of birth defects. We have employed ...

We have developed this method as an alternative to direct probe/target hybridization, which when used to study mutations in exon 11 of BRCA1 7, failed to detect the presence of the 1128insA mutation.

"We are in the midst of a revolution in the way researchers study infectious disease—instead of depending on culture dishes as the only way to observe the behavior of pathogens, scientists are able to ...

Following the Silicon Valley pattern of jamming more power into less space, Santa Clara's Affymetrix will disclose today that it has packed most of the human genome onto two DNA chips. Previously, ...

Efforts by researchers in Chicago could eventually lead to development of faster and less-expensive DNA screening. Such tests could enable medical professionals to identify illnesses more rapidly and ...

Affymetrix, the Santa Clara-based DNA chip company, has partnered with Hewlett Packard in the development of the HP GeneArray Scanner, a high resolution, high throughput scanner for use with GeneChip¨ ...

PAM50 intrinsic subtyping and pathologic responses to neoadjuvant trastuzumab-based chemotherapy in HER2-positive breast cancer. Background: Early detection and monitoring the progress of common ...

As mice are a vital model organism and DNA methylation is commonly used in epigenetic studies, researchers have developed a high-throughput genomic array for DNA methylation for a more detailed view ...

Protein arrays are lagging behind in their implementation relative to DNA arrays because proteins are harder to produce and keep active. But in the September Nature Biotechnology de Wildt et al.
