Molecular biology, has been influenced tremendously by recent technological
advancements in miniaturization and automation. One consequence has been t
he development of robust and sensitive methods to analyze gene expression.
The ability, to evaluate systematically, the expression of every, mammalian
gene is now, technically, feasible. The methods available for gene express
ion profiling, mid their application hi cardiovascular research, are the to
pics of this review. (Trends Cardiovasc Med 2001; 11:49-54). (C) 2001, Else
