Abstract
cDNA microarrays are capable of profiling gene expression patterns of tens of thousands of genes in a single experiment. DNA targets, in the form of 3' expressed sequence tags (ESTs), are arrayed onto glass slides (or membranes) and probed with fluorescent- or radioactively-labelled cDNAs. Here, we review technical aspects of cDNA microarrays, including the general principles, fabrication of the arrays, target labelling, image analysis and data extraction, management and mining.Mesh:
