Gene expression profiling using DNA arrays is rapidly becoming an
essential tool for research and drug discovery and may soon play a
central role in disease diagnosis. Although it is possible to make
significant discoveries on the basis of a relatively small number of
expression profiles, the full potential of this technology is best
realized through more extensive collections of expression measurements.
The generation of large numbers of expression profiles can be a
time-consuming and labor-intensive process with current one-at-a-time
technology. We have developed the ability to obtain expression profiles
in a highly parallel yet straightforward format using glass wafers that
contain 49 individual high-density oligonucleotide arrays. This arrays
of arrays concept is generalizable and can be adapted readily to other
types of arrays, including spotted cDNA microarrays. It is also
scalable for use with hundreds and even thousands of smaller arrays on
a single piece of glass. Using the arrays of arrays approach and
parallel preparation of hybridization samples in 96-well plates, we
were able to determine the patterns of gene expression in 27 ovarian
carcinomas and 4 normal ovarian tissue samples, along with a number of
control samples, in a single experiment. This new approach
significantly increases the ease, efficiency, and throughput of
microarray-based experiments and makes possible new applications of
expression profiling that are currently impractical.
