Low-density microarray useful for rapid breast tumor analysis
March 2nd, 2006
A novel low-density gene microarray enables efficient molecular characterization of breast tumors. A group of scientists in Belgium "designed a low-density microarray carrying 132 DNA capture sequences highly specific for genes known to be differentially expressed among breast tumors and BCC lines or associated with specific tumor properties (cell-cycle alteration, proteolysis, adhesion, hormone sensitivity, etc)." To evaluate the performance of their microarray system, F. de Longueville and colleagues at Eppendorf Array Technologies "analyzed gene expression in 11 BCC lines, among which six had already been extensively studied (BT-474, Hs578T,...
