DNA microarrays: is there a role for analytical chemistry?
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA microarrays, or "DNA chips", represent a relatively new technology that is having a profound impact on biology and medicine, yet analytical research into this area is somewhat sparse. This article presents an overview of DNA microarrays and their application to gene expression analysis from the perspective of analytical chemistry, treating aspects of array platforms, measurement, image analysis, experimental design, normalization, and data analysis. Typical approaches are described and unresolved issues are discussed, with a view to identifying some of the contributions that might be made by analytical chemists.

Fabricating RNA microarrays with RNA-DNA surface ligation chemistry.
A novel surface attachment strategy that utilizes RNA-DNA surface ligation chemistry to create renewable RNA microarrays from single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) microarrays on gold surfaces is demonstrated. The enzyme T4 DNA ligase was used to catalyze the formation of a phosphodiester bond between 5'-phosphate-modified ssDNA attached to the surface and the 3'-hydroxyl group of unlabeled RNA molecules...
