DNA MICROARRAY TECHNOLOGY IN DERMATOLOGY
Rabab Abdel Hamid Abdel Maksoud Taha;
Abstract
DNA microarrays are the latest in a line of molecular biologic
that does not differ from other hybridization technologies, with the
exception that these earlier methods allowed only for the analysis of
one or, at most, a few genes at a time. However, DNA microarrays
consist of thousands of DNA sequences.
Microarray technology is based on the well-established
and highly exploited principle of nucleic acid hybridization. The
technique offers the possibility of simultaneously conducting tens or
hundreds of thousands of simultaneous hybridizations. This
increased experimental efficiency permits high throughput and
whole genome expression profiling of pathogens and hosts.
Microarray technologies are rapidly advancing with numerous
applications in Medicine, genomics, proteomics, pharmacogenomics,
molecular biology, infectious diseases, food industry,
chemotherapy, antibiotic resistance and so on. Microarray-based
diagnostics is being developed in many countries and still new
ideas are being incorporated into the assays to increase their
versatility. Whole of the scientific community have great hope for
this technique to find its implications in various aspects of human
mankind.
