摘要:

Microarrays have long been used to examine gene transcription levels but with the use of tiling arrays much more information can now be obtained.  Tiling arrays can be used to scan the whole genome of organisms but require millions of probes to do so. The ability to change array designs rapidly allows researchers to scan the whole genome for disease loci at one resolution and then “zoom in” on the regions of interest to gather more information at ultra-high resolution.  Applications are growing almost daily – ChIP on chip, CGH, transcriptional mapping, nucleosome mapping, methylation, splice variant analysis, comparative genomic sequencing, histone analysis, etc.  In this talk we will show how researchers are using these new techniques to gain insight into autism, cancer, stem cell regulation, and drug resistance.
