High-throughput fluorescence microscopy for systems biology

Rainer Pepperkok et al. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2006 Sep.

Abstract

In this post-genomic era, we need to define gene function on a genome-wide scale for model organisms and humans. The fundamental unit of biological processes is the cell. Among the most powerful tools to assay such processes in the physiological context of intact living cells are fluorescence microscopy and related imaging techniques. To enable these techniques to be applied to functional genomics experiments, fluorescence microscopy is making the transition to a quantitative and high-throughput technology.
