Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the application of genomic technology, specifically DNA microarray technology, for the analysis of the HCMV-host cell interaction. The relatively small number of reports using microarrays that monitor global HCMV or cellular RNA accumulation are reviewed, and the implications of the experimental results are considered. These initial studies have only just begun to harness the potential of microarrays, and the chapter concludes with a discussion of future challenges and opportunities read more ...
