Cluster Analysis for Large Scale Gene Expression Studies High throughput gene expression analysis is becoming more and more important in many areas of biomedical research. cDNA microarray technology is one very promising approach for high throughput analysis and provides the opportunity to study gene expression patterns on a genomic scale. Thousands or even tens of thousands of genes can be spo...

Alexander Borst studied Biology at the University of Wuerzburg. His PhD work in Martin Heisenberg’s lab demonstrated that the mushroom bodies of Drosophila are indispensable for olfactory learning. He did a postdoc with Karl Goetz at the Max-PlanckInstitute for biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, where he started to work on fly motion vision, a field which he never left since. In 1993, he becam...
