Electronic Microarray Technology and Applications in Genomics and Proteomics

Abstract

Keywords: Electronic microarray/ Miniaturization/ Single nucleotide polymorphism/ Gene expression profiling/ Cell separation/ Protein kinase/ Forensic detection/ Biological warfare Electronic microarrays that contain planar arrays of microelectrodes have been developed to provide unique features of speed, accuracy and multiplexing for genomic and proteomic applications through utilizing electric field control to facilitate analytes concentration , DNA hybridization, stringency and multiplexing. An overview of electronic mi-croarray technology is presented followed by its variety applications in genomic research and DNA diagnostics, forensic detection, biologic warfare, and proteomics.
