Suggested move
editI am not sure about notability for this term, as I see only 7 papers in Scopus with the word used, or which only 2 are highly cited:
Proudnikov, D., Timofeev, E., Mirzabekov, A. Immobilization of DNA in polyacrylamide gel for the manufacture of DNA and DNA-oligonucleotide microchips (1998) Analytical Biochemistry, 259 (1), pp. 34-41. Cited 127 times.
Fotin, A.V., Drobyshev, A.L., Proudnikov, D.Y., Perov, A.N., Mirzabekov, A.D. Parallel thermodynamic analysis of duplexes on oligodeoxyribonucleotide microchips (1998) Nucleic Acids Research, 26 (6), pp. 1515-1521. Cited 123 times.
the term "Microarrays of Gel-immobilized Compounds" adds nothing more, but the term "three-dimensional dna microarrays" gives 120 papers, of which the most cited are
Kim, S.K., Lund, J., Kiraly, M., Duke, K., Jiang, M., Stuart, J.M., Eizinger, A., Wylie, B.N., Davidson, G.S. A gene expression map for Caenorhabditis elegans (2001) Science, 293 (5537), pp. 2087-2092. Cited 315 times.

Abbott, A. Biology's new dimension (2003) Nature, 424 (6951), pp. 870-872. Cited 160 times.
Seftor, R.E.B., Seftor, E.A., Koshikawa, N., Meltzer, P.S., Gardner, L.M.G., Bilban, M., Stetler-Stevenson, W.G., Quaranta, V., Hendrix, M.J.C. Cooperative interactions of laminin 5 γ2 chain, matrix metalloproteinase-2, and membrane type-1-matrix/metalloproteinase are required for mimicry of embryonic vasculogenesis by aggressive melanoma (2001) Cancer Research, 61 (17), pp. 6322-6327. Cited 132 times.
From this I conclude ther term is an occasionally used acronym ofr mperhaps a trademark for a particular kind, and the article needs to be moved to three-dimensional dna microarray and rewritten. The tone is too much like a press release or a review article in a journal or textbook--this is a general encyclopedia . See our guide to writing Wikipedia articles. It is, in fact, so much like a review that i wonder if any of it has been previously published. If there are no objections, I will move the artile, but let others rewrite, adding a wider range of references. DGG (talk) 08:53, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
