RNA-seq is a reference technology for determining alternative splicing at genome-wide level. Exon arrays remain widely used for the analysis of gene expression, but show poor validation rate with regard to splicing events. Commercial arrays that include probes within exon ...

Reuters – Thermo Fisher to buy Affymetrix for $1.3 billion Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (TMO.N), the world’s largest maker of scientific instruments, said it agreed to buy Affymetrix Inc (AFFX.O) for $1.3 billion in cash, beefing up its genetic analysis ...

Cell-free fetal RNA from the amniotic fluid supernatant of five euploid mid-trimester samples was divided and prepared in tandem for analysis by either the Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 Gene Chip microarray or Illumina HiSeq. Transcriptomes were assembled and compared on ...

To demonstrate the benefits of RNA-Seq over microarray in transcriptome profiling, researchers at Janssen Research & Development performed both RNA-Seq and microarray analyses on RNA samples from a human T cell activation experiment. In contrast to other reports, their analyses ...
