| Abstract | In systems biology and biomedical research, microarray technology is a method of choice that enables the complete quantitative and qualitative ascertainment of gene expression patterns for whole genomes. The selection of high quality oligonucleotide sequences that behave consistently across multiple experiments is a key step in the design, fabrication and experimental performance of DNA microarrays. The aim of this chapter is to outline recent algorithmic developments in microarray probe design, evaluate existing probe sequences used in commercial arrays, and suggest methodologies that have the potential to improve on existing design techniques. |
