10. In situ synthesized (Affymetrix) microarrays: Advantage: massive coverage of sequences possible Disadvantage: expensive and not easily customized Spotted arrays (oligonucleotides or dsDNA): Advantage: flexibility and cost; can be “home-made” Disadvantage: big initial investment; less standardization

12. Caveat….Caveat….Caveat!! Results from the two different DNA microarray methods don’t always agree! Results for mRNA abundance differences from either method don’t always agree with protein abundance data!

13. Stages in the Life Cycle of a Technological Innovation 1. Unveiling (first publication) 2. Hype (lots of follow-on publications, meetings, venture capital, etc.) 3. Disillusionment (more paper opportunities!) 4. Promise eventually fulfilled (years later) 5. Enters routine use
