REPORT ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR TRANSLATIONAL BIOINFORMATICS: A SYMPOSIUM ON GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING FOR ARCHIVAL TISSUES

Report on emerging technologies for translational bioinformatics: a symposium on gene expression profiling for archival tissues

Abstract Background With over 20 million formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples archived each year in the United States alone, archival tissues remain a vast and under-utilized resource in the genomic study of cancer.Technologies have recently been introduced for whole-transcriptome amplification and microarray analysis of degraded
