Microarray technology has been used widely in gynecology. Numerous studies have used this method to address biological questions related to human endometrium. The cyclic changes of endometrium confer special characteristics that should be considered before genomic analysis. The present study reviews these considerations and the principles of transcriptomic analysis through an example of a comparison of three different phases of the menstrual cycle.
