title: Gene expression analysis.
abstract: The response of cells to extracellular signals usually requires altered expression of many genes, possibly including several distinct metabolic pathways. In some cases, only a subset of genes involved in such responses are known, which requires techniques to analyze changes in the expression of multiple genes, both known and unknown. Three techniques, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, differential display, and gene discovery arrays, provide opportunities for measuring changes in gene expression levels, as well as for identifying novel gene products.
