    What is a Probe Set? What is a Probe pair?

    Hi I'm a complete beginner with the bioinformatics material - and I was searching around the web and there were these questions listed. I've done a quick google search on them, but couldn't find a really convincing answer on them.

    I'm hoping people in this forum could shed some light onto these questions:

    What is a Probe Set?
    What is a Probe pair?
    Why do we need to normalize the microarray data?
    The list of genes that you get after an analysis is absolutely unique? Why?
    Briefly, how can we assign biological meaning to the list of differentially expressed genes?


    Thanks in advance!

    Wikipedia is a good place to start when working on homework assignments.

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing

      How Immunogenomics Decodes Immunity’s Genetic Blueprint
      by SEQadmin2




      The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.

      This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...
