Introduction to DNA Microarray Technology

Book By Hussan Ahmad Ks
Introduction
The large scale genome sequencing effort and the ability to immobilize thousands of DNA fragments on coated glass slides or membrane, have led to the development of microarray technology.
Definition:
‘’A microarray is a pattern of ssDNA probes which are immobilized on a surface’’ Microarray use hybridization to detect a specific DNA or RNA in a sample.
DNA microarray uses a million different probes fixed on a solid surface
