Abstract
The invention provides a tool for the easy interpretation of the changes occurring in a cell, being a three dimensional complex and control system, by analyzing a limited number of data obtained by quantifying the intensity of the signals present on spots distributed in a two dimensional surface. These signals intensities are related to the level of genes or gene products present in the cells and after processing and data analysis, they provide an absolute or relative quantification of these genes and gene products present in the analyzed cell or tissue or organisms. The invention also provides a list of cellular functions, which are essential in order to obtain an overview of the modifications occurring in the vital or specific cellular functions under specific biological conditions.
Translated title of the contribution | Determination of a general three-dimensional status of a cell by multiple gene expression analysis on micro-arrays |
