Use of cDNA Macroarrays and Gene Profiling for Detection of Effects of Environmental Toxicants
| Abstract |
|
|
The method we describe in this chapter describes the synthesis and use of cDNA macroarrays for determining changes in gene
expression due to environmental toxicants as well as the methods and materials that are required to do this work. While the
details are for investigators working with nontraditional species for which commercial arrays are unavailable, anyone can
design and use their own custom arrays using these protocols. We have intentionally left out details for statistical analysis
for the arrays as the methods for doing this are still being developed and would need to be specific to the experiment being
done. In all, gene macroarrays are a relatively easy way to generate large amounts of data in a short amount of time.
