MicroSCALE: Stunning images display microarray's precision and power

Investigating the roles of genes is critical to understanding human biology and disease. A new microarray gives scientists an innovative way of performing large-scale "functional genomics." The screening array, known as MicroSCALE, is the result of efforts by Ó³»­´«Ã½ senior associate member and Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research member David Sabatini, RNAi Platform director David Root, and colleagues to "shrink" the process of so-called "functional genomics." Watch this new tool in action in the video above and read more on the Ó³»­´«Ã½'s web site.
