Microarrays are relatively inexpensive, powerful tools for assessing gene expression. On glass or plastic slides, thousands of known DNA sequences are printed, spotted or synthesized. mRNA is isolated ...

The fluorescently labeled cDNA is then added to a glass slide or silicon chip upon which thousands of tiny dots of single-stranded DNA have been arranged in a grid pattern.

cDNA expression microarrays are becoming popular tools for high throughput expression profiling. To simplify use of the microarrays in research lab, we developed a disposable plastic chamber ...

DNA microarrays (cDNA or oligos) have become commonplace and instrumentation is available to automate the workflow process of production, hybridization, and image analysis.

The DNA copy that is made, called complementary DNA (cDNA), is then applied to the microarray. The cDNA binds to complementary base pairs in each of the spots on the array, a process known as ...

Using extensive experiments on real-life microarray images, researchers from the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada have demonstrated that a fully automated method can achieve a very high degree ...
