Abstract:
The generation of high-quality microarray data for toxicogenomics can be affected by the study design and methods used for sample acquisition, preparation, and processing. Bias can be introduced during animal treatment, tissue handling, and sample preparation. Metrics and controls used in assessing RNA integrity and the quality of microarray sample generation are reviewed in this chapter. Regulations and guidelines involved in the application of microarrays as a commercial in vitro diagnostic device are also described.
