Gene Expression Analysis in the RNA World (Biohealthcare Publishing Series on Bioinformatics)

Gene expression analysis in the RNA world is a practical guide to the principles and techniques that are essential to RNA-based gene expression analysis. Key features include a detailed presentation of the procedures and methods for triplicates, time course, and recovery studies involving the use of multiple microarrays and correlation analysis between microarray results, RT-PCR, and Northern blotting. Each step of the microarray experimental process from bench work of RNA isolation through to computational and bioinformatics analysis is described in detail.
