What is microarrays?

Microarrays are high-throughput technologies used to simultaneously measure the expression levels of a large number of genes or other DNA sequences. They typically consist of a solid surface onto which thousands of different DNA probes are attached. These probes hybridize with complementary sequences from a sample, allowing researchers to quantify the abundance of each sequence in the sample. Microarrays are commonly used in gene expression profiling, biomarker discovery, and drug development.

microarrays Competitor Technologies

next-generation sequencing

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) provides an alternative method for measuring gene expression and other genomic features, often with higher throughput and sensitivity than microarrays. It can measure gene expression without prior knowledge of the sequence.
