<h4>Motivation</h4>Microarrays are becoming an increasingly common tool for observing changes in gene expression over a large cross section of the genome. This experimental tool is particularly valuable for understanding the genome-wide changes in gene transcription in response to thiazolidinedione (TZD) treatment. The TZD class of drugs is known to improve insulin-sensitivity in diabetic patients, and is clinically used in treatment regimens. In cells, TZDs bind to and activate the transcriptio ...[more]
