Abstract

The last decade of the twentieth century witnessed two revolutionary experimental techniques to emerge in molecular and cell biology – the single-molecule mechanics techniques discussed in Chap. 11 (Xie 2001; Ishii and Yanagida 2007; Deniz et al. 2008) and the DNA microarray technique to be discussed in this chapter.
