Glass DNA microarray
Which type of microarray does not require specialized equipment?
|
It is the moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity
What is ethics?
|
Mutations and genetic alterations can lead to various forms of diseases.
What can a gene mutation lead to?
|
A control sample is a sample of healthy genes used to compare with another sample.
What is a control sample?
|
Glass DNA microarrays and Oligonucleotide microarrays
What are the types of microarray?
|
Glass DNA microarray
Which type of microarray is cheaper?
|
Yes
Do ethical concerns require much consideration?
|
To detect mutations in genes or any alterations in the DNA sequence.
What is the essential function of the microarray?
|
They are separated into single-stranded molecules.
What are the complementary DNA are separated into?
|
Micro spotting of complementary DNA fragments on a glass slide
What is unique to the glass DNA microarrays?
|
Glass DNA microarray
To which type of microarray can the phenomena known as cross-hybridization occur?
|
Yes due to its complexity and involvement in the study.
Does ethics need to be considered during a study?
|
mRNA
What type of RNA does this process utilize?
|
Red
What colour was the control sample given in the example?
|
Referred to as a “chip” involving an oligonucleotide synthesis
What is unique to the oligonucleotide microarrays?
|
Oligonucleotide microarray
Which microarray costs more?
|
Yes as it allows for researchers to be able to properly address them and possibly do something about it.
Should there be discussions about the possible implications of the use of microarrays?
|
A microarray is a research apparatus that is used to recognize the expression of thousands of genes at the same time.
What is a microarray?
|
First, the mRNA sample is isolated.
Then the synthesis of complementary DNA, chains begins with addition primers.
What are the first two steps of the microarray?
|
The size of printed DNA fragments, the methods of printing upon spots within the chip alongside data images generated
What is the difference between the two types of microarray?
|
*Refer to slides for possible answers*
What is an advantage and disadvantage for Oligonucleotide microarrays?
|
Informed consent

|
Each of these chips contains many short synthetic,
single-stranded DNA sequences which make up a normal gene alongside many potential mutations that the gene could be exposed to.
What is a microarray chip made up of?
