Abstract

DNA microarrays are used to quantify tens of thousands of DNA or RNA sequences in a single assay. Upon their introduction approximately six years ago, DNA microarrays were viewed as a disruptive technology that would fundamentally alter the scientific landscape. Supporting this view, the number of applications of DNA microarray technology has since expanded exponentially. Here, we review recent advances in microarray technology and selected new applications of the technology.
