New method for gene expression experiments a kin to watercolor painting in water

ANN ARBOR, Mich.---Like oil and water, two water-based liquids can mingle without mixing in a new University of Michigan technology developed for biological experiments. The new "micropatterning" method is useful in gene expression studies, which essentially turn genes on or off in cells in order to help researchers understand the function of those genes.
