Microarray
A technique to monitor gene expression in thousands of genes. Thousands of probe DNAs are spotted or synthesized on microscope slides. Sample RNAs are labeled with fluorescent dyes.

Microarray Technology
Microarray technology is a developing technology used to study the expression of many genes at once. It involves placing thousands of gene sequences in known locations on a glass slide called a gene chip.

Microarrays Aid Understanding of Anthrax
DNA microarrays allow the massively parallel, semiquantitative analysis of gene expression at the whole-genome level.

Microarrays
Ordered sets of DNA fragments fixed to solid surfaces. The DNA fragments may represent all the open reading frames in a genome, a particular gene family, or any other subset of genes.

Microarray technology
A new way of studying how large numbers of genes interact with each other and how a cell's regulatory networks control vast batteries of genes simultaneously.

Microarray
- A large set of cloned DNA molecules spotted onto a solid matrix (such as a microscope slide) for use in probing a biological sample to determine gene expression, marker pattern or nucleotide sequence of DNA/RNA.

Microarray Experiment

Protein microarrays and high throughput (HT) mass spectrometry (MS) can provide a snapshot of the proteins present in a biological sample.

Main article: DNA microarray
A DNA array is a collection of spots attached to a solid support such as a microscope slide; each spot contains one or more DNA oligonucleotides.

Gene chip technology Development of cDNA microarrays from a large number of genes. Used to monitor and measure changes in gene expression for each gene represented on the chip.

Experiment A set of microarray hybridizations that together comprise a single experiment designed to test a given hypothesis.
