The Historiograph is a chronological linkage map that visualizes the genealogy of the microarray literature. Starting with the Pat Brown group in 1995¹ (Also, see Foundations) it progresses to analysis, review and implementation in the ensuing years. The 13 key papers are identified through their citation links. Most have been cited highly in the literature and heavily referenced by a group of roughly 3,000 papers with the word "microarray" appearing in the title.
