Preface Microarrays are spatially ordered arrays with ligands chemically immobilized in discrete spots on a solid matrix, usually a microscope slide. Microarrays are a high-throughput large-scale screening system enabling simultaneous identification of a large number of target molecules (up to several hundred thousand) that bind specifically to the immobilized ligands of the array. Microarrays represent a promising tool fo
