Know your technique
How were the results/data generated? What sources of error do these techniques produce?
Microarrays: A snapshot of all detectable RNA’s present in a given cell type, tissue, disease state, experimental conditions or developmental stage relative to a control. Proteomics: A snapshot of all detectable proteins in a given cell type, tissue, disease state, experimental condition
EST’s: A snapshot of all detectable RNA’s [usually Poly(A)+] present in a give cell type, tissue, disease state, experimental condition or developmental stage.
Remember the assumptions Microarrays
- cDNA microarrays
- “GeneChip” in situ synthesized
- ligonucleotide arrays
- Oligomer (~70mer) arrays
