When interpreting the results of microarrays, the degree of hybridization between a given probe and an organism to be identified is measured by _________.x
The correct answer is analyzing the color intensity of the image ( slide image) produced by scanning with the help of a laser beam.
Microarray is the arrangement involving the use of oligo nucleotide probes that are been closely arranged in a small solid surface. Microarray are applied mainly for the identification of gene expression, genotyping and resequencing. Microarray determines the gene pattern by identifying the active genes in an organism and comparing expression patterns by the identification of mRNA's produced.
In genotyping, microarrays detect Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) and identify the gene which is associated with a disease.
In resequencing, microarrays detect the DNA sequence of a particular virus, bacteria or other organisms. And the sample sequence is compared with a known DNA sequence for the identification of the organisms.
