后基因组时代的生物芯片技术

Bio-Chip Technology in Post-genomics Era

生命科学研究已进入后基因组时代,当前最重要的任务之一是对人类基因的注释与确认。基因芯片、蛋白质芯片及芯片实验室在揭示基因功能中将发挥重要作用。同时。生物芯片技术为系统生物学的发展提供大量数据,并成为系统生物学研究强有力的工具,为最终破解基因功能指明了方向。

The life science has entered the era of post-genomics. One of the most important tasks of present life science research is to annotate and verify human genomic data already obtained. Microarrays of DNA and protein and lab-on-chip all play crucial roles in uncovering the functions of the genomes and in analyzing the specific genomic relationships of the interacting networks. At the same time, microarray technologies can provide tremendous amount of data for biomedical researchers, and is becoming an ever-powerful tool for system biology. All these shall contribute to the eventual elucidation of the functional genomics.
