Microarray technology in practiceby Steven Russell, Lisa A. Meadows, Roslin R. Russell.

After almost 10 years of running a microarray research facility, we decided to write a guide designed to demystify the technology and inform more biologists about this critically important experimental technique.

A book preview is available here.
