techniques have led to increasing production of high-throughput
experimental data. Spotted cDNA microarray is one of the most
diffuse technologies, used in single research laboratories and
in biotechnology service facilities. Although they are routinely
performed, spotted microarray experiments are complex procedures
entailing several experimental steps and actors with different
technical sk
