Overview
This report is ideal for those seeking to maximize results from DNA microarray
studies, or for anyone who must understand the key trends and technologies
shaping this market.
The report focuses on the data researchers get from these powerful
instruments, the best approaches to analyzing and managing these data, and the
challenge of designing experiments that yield statistically defensible results.
The report describes leading commercial and academic software, as well as
emerging breakthrough techniques.
Topics include normalization, filtering, clustering, and other pattern
discovery methods, biological interpretation of patterns, statistical issues
pertaining to data analysis and experimental design, custom chip design
(including the use of genomic sequence data to design custom oligo chips), and
image analysis. The report also discusses databases for storing microarray
results and efforts to devise standards for microarray data and databases. More
than 15 leading experts in the field will be interviewed for the report, which
will contain information about more than 40 products, over a dozen of which will
be described in detail.
