expression profiling
ONE GENE AT A TIME
• RNA gel blot (=northern)
• differential display NOT QUANTITATIVE, difficult to confirm
• cDNA-AFLP CHEAP! little genomic data required
SENSITIVE TO

TRANSCRIPTS
•NOT
sequencing
cDNA
libraries (ESTs)
EXPENSIVE AND LABOR-INTENSIVE
• SAGE
• microarrays expensive many genes at once, semi-quantitative

microarray pitfalls
• cross-hybridization with related sequences
• non-detection of sequence not included in the
array
• data handling is complex, therefore prone to
human error (transformation, normalization,
visualization, interpretation)
• poor replication/experimental design
• cDNA microarrays:
– chimeric clones
– inconsistent hybridization due to non-uniformity of
microarray features
artifacts occur
21 RUBISCO homologs
but the pattern is robust
photosynthesis-associated genes
data visualization
interpretation is
problematic
expression profiling simultaneously measures as much of the
transcriptome as is represented on the chip
this provides a valuable resource for studying regulatory and
metabolic networks
massive quantities of data are generated (and need to be analyzed)
high costs and statistical difficulties encourage more focused
approaches, but you only find what you’re looking for!

flavonoids
• hydrophilic
• acetate-malonate
pathway
