Abstract: | The realization that gene, protein, and metabolite space is vast has led to the development of novel high-throughput methodologies aimed directly at interrogating biomolecules and their interactions at previously impossible depths. In this special focus section, the editors of BioTechniques explore the development of high-throughput applications in five areas of life science (page 27), while a primary research article by Kapetis et al. details an enhanced software platform capable of automated cross-platform microarray data analysis (page 33). It is our hope that through the articles in this section, readers will obtain a deeper understanding of high-throughput methodologies and their evolution. |
