Leading academic and industrial investigators surveys the world of microarray technology, describing in step-by-step detail diverse DNA and protein assays in clinical laboratories using state-of-the-art technologies. The advanced tools and methods described are designed for mRNA expression analysis, SNP analysis, identification, and quantification of proteins, and for studies of protein-protein interactions. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) series format, each offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

"Microarray technology has become a mainstay of biological research. ... The book is divided into 15 chapters ... . Overall this book offers a good read to both clinicians and researchers at the bench who wish to enter the field of microarrays. The format of the book also provides a good roadmap to graduate students wishing to translate aspects of their research to methods amenable to microarrays." (Sridar V. Chittur, Clinical Chemistry, Vol. 52 (6), June, 2006)
"Microarrays in Clinical Diagnostics ... is a collection of fifteen chapters by authors from both industry and academia, surveying current applications of microarray-based technologies in diagnostics ... . provides protocols in the successful style of the Methods in Molecular Biology series, with clarity and sufficient technical detail so that both novice and current microarray users are sure to benefit from this book."
