A DNA microarray, also commonly known as a DNA chip or biochip, is a collection of microscopic DNA spots attached to a solid surface.
Each DNA spot contains picomoles of a specific DNA sequence, known as probes, reporters, or oligos. These can be a short section of a gene or other DNA element that are used to hybridize a cDNA or cRNA sample, or target.
Scientists use DNA microarray analysis to measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes simultaneously as well as the genotyping of multiple regions of a genome.
Each DNA spot contains picomoles of a specific DNA sequence, known as probes, reporters, or oligos. These can be a short section of a gene or other DNA element that are used to hybridize a cDNA or cRNA sample, or target, under high stringency conditions.
This type of sample is also referred to as antisense RNA. Probe-target hybridization is usually detected and quantified by the detection of fluorophore-, silver-, or chemiluminescence-labeled targets to determine the relative abundance of nucleic acid sequences in the target.
Microarray scanning is highly relevant in the fields of basic research, drug discovery, disease diagnostics and more.
