Genomic microarrays in the spotlight.

Abstract:

:Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) has emerged as a revolutionary platform, enabling the high-resolution detection of DNA copy number aberrations. In this article we outline the use and limitations of genomic clones, cDNA clones and PCR products as targets for genomic microarray construction. Furthermore, the applications and future aspects of these arrays for DNA copy number analysis in research and diagnostics, epigenetic profiling and gene annotation are discussed. These recent developments of genomic microarrays mark only the beginning of a new generation of high-resolution and high-throughput tools for genetic analysis.

  • Knowledge-based chemoinformatic approaches to drug discovery.

    abstract::The modern drug discovery process is steadily becoming more information driven. Structural, physicochemical and ADME-Tox property profiles of reference (successful) ligands, along with structural information of their target proteins, have been extremely useful for early-stage drug discovery. Recently, databases of kno...
