title: Application of gene expression profiling to cardiovascular disease.
abstract: The number of cardiovascular publications featuring gene expression profiling technologies is growing rapidly. This article introduces four profiling techniques; serial analysis of gene expression, differential display, subtractive hybridisation and DNA microarrays. Illustrations of their application towards cardiovascular research are given and their potential for gene discovery and improving our understanding of gene function is discussed.
