dna microarray definition
DNA microarray analysis is one of the fastest-growing new technologies in the field of genetic research. Scientists are using DNA microarrays to investigate everything from cancer to pest control. Now you can do your own DNA microarray experiment!
Professor Daniel Geschwind describes microarrays, small slides onto which DNA can be pasted, as an efficient way to study genes that cause disorders. Transcript: A microarray is essentially, an ordered array of DNA or any nucleic acids.It’s typically gridded out onto some kind of solid support, so that, basically in a very small area, let’s say a microscope slide, you can put down every single gene in the genome, forty, fifty-thousand genes in that small area.rofessor Daniel Geschwind describes microarrays, small slides onto which DNA can be pasted, as an efficient way to study genes that cause disorders.
