Abstractt

DNA microarrays have been used extensively in recent years to study mRNA expression profiles of different cell types under various growth conditions. These steady-state mRNA profiles provide a wealth of information about cellular functions and responses. However, they do not necessarily reflect the ultimate gene expression profile of a cell since the step of translation might lead to discrepancies between the mRNA profile and the profile of the actual functioning unit in the cell, the protein (e.g., 1,2).
