What is Microarray Analysis?
Microarray is a multiplex genomics approach that targets and quantifies specific genes by hybridizing the nucleic acid to a chip and providing an output of genotyping data on a genome-wide scale.
Why is Microarray Analysis Important?
This advanced process enables research teams to examine gene expression and quantify disease-related mutations caused by cancer and other illnesses.
Applications include: development of more accurate disease detection methods & diagnoses, individualized treatment planning, and polygenic risk scoring (PRS) used in epidemiology.
What Can You Do?
