The women splashed about in desultory fashion for another five minutes and then, upon some hidden cue, picked up their buckets and tossed water over...
...probe cellular gene activity en masse, scientists first isolate the molecules that translate genes into proteins. They then copy these molecules into their corresponding DNA sequences, tag those sequences with fluorescent markers and pour the tagged sequences over the microarray. Active genes in this biochemical stew stick like Velcro to their single-stranded partners on the chip, creating patterns of fluorescent dots that reveal which genes are turned on. "This technology has fundamentally altered how we explore biology," says Dr. Olli Kallioniemi of the NIH, who studies gene expression in cancers...
