[News Feed] Study: 'Homemade' Gene Expression Technology Unreliable

[Forum Mouse]

Technology for analyzing gene expression must be standardized among laboratories and across platforms around the world to support this age of human genome exploration, an Oregon Health & Science University researcher says. Otherwise, scientists using DNA microarrays, also known as gene chips, risk having their research results called into question, said Peter Spencer, Ph.D. He co-authored a study showing that labs using commercial rather than homemade microarray platforms and common procedures can generate comparable data.
