What is DNA Microarray? DNA Microarray
allows scientists to perform an experiment on thousands of genes at the same time.
How’s its useful
The sequence of the protein it encodes
Can guess the function of the gene
Can look for the presence of mutations
Can study the evolution of genes
Process
When a gene is activated, cellular machinery begins to copy certain segments of that gene which results in messenger RNA
