The earliest biotechnologists were probably the Sumerians who brewed their beer with yeast, thereby using living organisms. This use of biotechnology was not intentional. Today biotechnology is used in our every day lives, e.g. in the kitchen (food and dish liquid), in the bathroom (cosmetics and detergent) or whenever we are ill. In general you can say that biotechnology is the use of biological processes, organisms, or systems to manufacture products intended to improve the quality of human life. In recent years, biotechnology has expanded in sophistication, scope, and applicability. The science of biotechnology can be broken down into sub disciplines known as red, green, grey, white, and blue. Red biotechnology involves medical processes, for instance using organisms to produce new drugs, or using stem cells to regenerate damaged human tissues and perhaps re-grow entire organs. Green biotechnology applies to agriculture and involves such processes as the development of pest-resistant grains or the accelerated evolution of disease-resistant animals. Grey biotechnology is mainly focused on processes that digest existing toxic substances found in our environment. White biotechnology involves industrial processes such as the production of new chemicals or the development of new fuels for vehicles. Blue biotechnology encompasses processes in marine and aquatic environments, for example - controlling the proliferation of toxic water-borne organisms. LIS clearly focuses on red biotechnology - especially on cancer, inflammatory diseases, diseases of the central nervous system, and proteomics. This specialization is part of the overall concept and responds to the specific resources the Rhine-Main-area has to offer.
1- Manufacturing of the microarray: clone collection acquisition (+ sequencing), PCR amplification and insert verification, spotting, QC. 2- Experimental design and choice of reference: what to compare to what? 3- Target preparation (labeling) and hybridization 4- Image acquisition (scanning) and quantification (signal intensity to numbers) 5- Database building, filtering and normalization 6- Statistical analysis and data mining
