Updates on high-throughput molecular profiling for the study of rheumatoid arthritis.
The completion of the human genome mapping project has provided the necessary backdrop for the development of high-throughput array technologies. In contrast to the reductionist approach to studying the role of a particular molecule in a specific pathway, these technologies enable us to conduct a comprehensive survey of various molecular profiles across different cell types and individuals, placing us one step closer to understanding integrative regulatory networks and the workings of the cell as a whole.
