Abstract
Gene expression studies have become valuable tools to identify the complex mode of action of toxic or carcinogenic substances. In our group we established a quantitative high-throughput RT-qPCR technique using Fluidigm dynamic arrays on the BioMark™ System to analyze the expression level of 95 genes in 96 samples in parallel. By creating a special gene set comprising critical genes of the DNA damage response system the impact on genomic stability can be investigated.
