title: DNA hybridization arrays for gene expression analysis of human oral cancer.
abstract: DNA hybridization arrays permit global gene expression profiling to be done in a single experiment. The evolution and challenges of DNA hybridization arrays are reflected in the variety of experimental platforms, probe composition, hybridization/signal detection methods, and bioinformatic interpretation. In tumor biology, DNA hybridization arrays are being used for gene/gene pathway discovery, diagnosis, and therapeutic design. Similar applications are advancing our understanding of oral cancer cell biology.
