What Is Microarray

Different Approaches
How DNA
sequences are
laid down
Length of DNA
sequences
Stanford/
Synteni
Spotting
Affymetrix
Photolithography
cDNA(Complete Oligonucleotides
sequences)
Affymetrix

Probe Array (Photolithography)

Synthesis of probe

Hybridization
Stanford Approach


Use robot to spot glass slides
Able to measure qualitatively relative
expression levels of genes



Differential expression by use of
simultaneous, two-color fluorescence
hybridisation
Cheaper with DIY ($60,000)
Also called home-made system
