摘要: The availability of sequenced genomes human and many experimental animals necessitated the development new technologies powerful computational tools that are capable exploiting these genomic data ask intriguing questions about complex nature biological processes. This gave impetus for developing whole genome approaches can produce functional information genes in form expression profiles unscramble relationships between variation gene resulting physiological outcome. These represent genetic fingerprints or cata- logue characterize cell tissue being studied provide a basis from which to begin an investigation underlying biology. Among most versatile high-density DNA microarrays analyze patterns large numbers across different tissues within same under variety experi- mental conditions even species. wide spread use microarray is generating sets stimulating better analytical so functions be predicted novel genes. In this review, authors discuss how used at various stages drug discovery process help identification targets, predict function genes, understand individual variability re- sponse drugs
