Since the introduction of microarray technology into the biologist's arsenal, there have been concerns about the reproducibility of experimental results obtained using different microarray platforms. In this issue, three articles address this point, and show that with carefully designed and controlled experiments using standardized protocols and data analyses, reproducibility across platforms is much better than previously shown.
