From the reviews:
„The book offers a broad coverage of many of the most important aspects of microarray technology … . Despite the wide field broached by this book, one of its chief successes lies with the fact that in each chapter the authors provide a clear review of every step of the technique, including both its potential and pitfalls. This allows all readers, especially beginners, to understand the development and impact of this important technique. … Readers will find this beginner’s guide book very informative … .“ (Guillermina Lopez-Bendito, Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, Vol. 30, 2005)
