Microarrays

A microarray is a collection of specific reporter molecules (cDNA or oligonucleotides) arrayed in a micro-fashion on a solid support. Target molecules complementary to the target-specific reporter probes can bind to their matching probes on the microarray. As target molecules are labeled with a fluorescent dye, emission of light can be detected which represents the...
