Drosophila microarray platforms.
The advent of high throughput microarrays and the complete sequencing of the Drosophila melanogaster genome have enabled global gene expression analysis in this powerful genetic model organism. Currently, researchers are using three main Drosophila array platform types, with elements composed of cDNA amplicons, oligonucleotides (short and long) or genomic amplicons. This paper provides a broad overview of these platforms.
