Abstract:
Since their development in the early 1990s, differential gene expression (DGE) technologies have been applied to a multitude of biological challenges, both for the purpose of basic biological research and as a valuable tool for the discovery and development of pharmaceuticals. In this review we survey a class of DGE technologies collectively referred to as 'open' architecture systems. These technologies are distinct from the 'closed' DGE technologies (quantitative PCR, chip technologies), in that no pre-existing biological or sequence information is necessary and they are applicable to any species. Examples of open systems include GeneCalling, SAGE, TOGA, READS, and their progenitor DGE technologies, differential display and cDNA representational difference analysis. We review these technologies and summarize a specific application using GeneCalling for novel gene discovery. Additionally, the significance of data management and experimental design in this new age of expression analysis is discussed.
