Gene Micro Array
A gene microarray (also called a DNA microarray or genome-wide expression array) is a laboratory tool for analyzing the expression of thousands of genes at once. It is a powerful tool used in scientific research to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of genetic disorders, cancer progression or disease response to drug treatments. It is also used to study the effects of environmental factors on gene expression. By analyzing the expression of thousands of genes in a single experiment, it is possible to gain insight into the regulation and coordination of proteins, process that are important for the development and function of any organism. Ultimately, gene microarrays are used to provide insight into the underlying cause of diseases and to generate hypotheses for targeted treatments.
