Mental retardation affects approximately 3% of the population, and the background birth defect rate is 3% to 4%. An underlying cause is identified less than 50% of the time. In the cases in which a ...

Purpose: Genome-wide telomere screening by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has revealed that ≈ 6% of unexplained mental retardation is due to submicroscopic telomere imbalances. However, the ...

Antibody arrays are solid matrix assays designed to simultaneously monitor changes in the expression or post-translational modification of multiple cellular protein targets. The multiplexing ...

The requirement for increased throughput in SNP genotyping has led to the development of several technologies that do not use microtiter plates, such as gene chips and bead-based systems. These ...
