摘要
DNA microarrays are a powerful tool for the analysis of RNA and DNA composition on a whole-genome scale. The first applications of this technology in parasitology are in place. This review examines the various approaches to Plasmodium transcript-profiling that are being adopted using DNA microarray analysis and discusses additional strategies for obtaining and collating information relevant to the search for drug and vaccine candidates in malaria.
