General Inormation on Microarray - Does anybody know of a good book or jouranl with basic info (Oct/14/2009 )

Hi all,

I have just had samples of RNA analysed by microarray as part of an EU funded project we are part of.

All i had to do was extract the RNA and send it to the company.

The amount of data i was returned to be hoest is quite overwhelming and i would like to start to understand microarray at its most basic levels first (my superviisors will do most of this analysis as they have used it before but i would also like to get my head around the principles)

Can anybody recommend either a good book or paper with some genreal info on microarray, i'm not looking for anything too technical that would go over my head just i suppose the principals and how it works.

if anybody can suggest something i would be very grateful.

thanks.

you can start by looking at this webpage (found by googling "microarrays"):
