What is Microarrays for the Neurosciences: An Essential Guide (Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience) (Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience Series) about?

A guide to the use of DNA microarray technology in studying the central nervous system and other complex biological systems. The effort to sequence the human genome has generated a new discipline, "functional genomics," or the study of the relationship between the genetic code and its biologic potential. Gene expression studies are made possible not only by the decoding of the human genome, but by the development of new technologies. The preeminent technology in this area, DNA microarrays, is helping to revolutionize the field of neuroscience. Rather than looking at one gene at a time, researchers using DNA microarrays can monitor the expression patterns of large numbers of genes simultaneously. Bridging the traditional gap between molecular neurobiology and systems neurobiology, DNA microarray technology has the potential to elevate molecular genetic studies of the nervous system to the system level. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the use of DNA microarrays in neuroscience and provides approaches that are applicable to other complex biological systems. Human nervous system tissue is remarkably complex. The number of cell types, the architecture, the developmental prog
