Move over karyotypes—genetic disorder detection has vastly improved. Researchers are now using array CGH (aCGH), to quickly scan through an entire genome for imbalances.

Nature uses a common framework when building organisms as different as yeast, worms, fruit flies, mice, and humans. This makes it possible for scientists to learn about how our own genes work by ...

Since their inception in 1995, DNA microarrays have become the icon of the genomics revolution. Everyone with any interest has become familiar with the images of precise rows and columns of colored ...
