Microarray Analysis

Microarray analysis is a laboratory technique used to study gene activity across thousands of genes simultaneously. It involves placing small DNA snippets, called probes, on a grid (microarray) and exposing it to a sample of labeled genetic material from an organism. By measuring how much of the sample binds to each probe, scientists can determine which genes are active or inactive in that sample. This helps researchers understand gene expression patterns related to health, disease, or responses to treatments, providing valuable insights into biological processes at a molecular level.
