The ‘Advanced Methods’ series caters to advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and established research scientists. The titles in this series are specifically designed to encompass current and significant areas of research in the life sciences. They provide a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical background and detailed protocols. The primary objective is to equip researchers with the necessary theory, supported by references, to effectively utilize the provided protocols and adapt them to their specific experimental systems. The Microarrays and Microplates title focuses on the latest microarray and microplate-based technologies that enable large-scale analysis of DNA sequence variants, mRNA molecules, and proteins. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the various methodologies employed in identifying genetic variants and gene regulation. Additionally, it provides guidance to readers on the practical application of these methodologies and experimental procedures.
