Abstract excerpt
The relationship between gene expression profiles and cellular phenotypes is an important aspect of functional genomics. Clinical tissue specimens will play a vital role in this effort. The usefulness of tissue for molecular profiling is significantly influenced by the manner of specimen handling. Crucial components of this process include the optimization of the methods of tissue fixation and embedding, not only...
