Download or read book DNA Arrays in Neurobiology written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-12-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DNA array technology is a technique for studying gene expression by comparing samples of different genes. The result is an enormous amount of data that must be carefully analyzed in order for it to be useful and meaningful. This book examines both data analysis and techniques for ensuring optimal experimental conditions. The array approach has applications in a number of model systems, including development, learning and drug abuse. In addition, the technique has applications in a number of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, and neurological cancers.
