Chapter 18, Problem 6A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
DNA microarray, also known as DNA biochip is gathering of spots of microscopic DNA attached to a surface (solid surface). It is used by scientists to measure the levels of expression of many genes simultaneously. The principle of DNA microarray is hybridization of two strands of DNA.
