Technology Flashcards
similarities of DNA and RNA microarrays
both end with DNA microarray
DNA microarray
do for entire genome
RNA microarray
only target those genes
purify RNA
make cDNA
aCGH (array comparative genomic hybridization)
saw huge differences and compared reference to genome to another genome
Genome wide technologies
DNA/RNA microarrays
aCGH
NGS (next generation sequencing)
applications of DNA microarrays
- gene transcription measurement
- SNP/CNV
- chromatin immune precipitation
- clinical diagnostics
uses glass surface with probes with a specific nucleotide sequence to anneal to DNA
DNA microarrays
hybridization based technology
denature so cDNA can find probe and bid firm
wash DNA not attached
how many unique features do DNA microarrays have?
2.1-3 million
uses DNA with chromophore
DNA microarrays
how many different probes are there for each gene in DNA microarrays?
22
southern blot
dna
northern blot
rna
western blot
protein
most common
two microarray platforms
spotted arrays
affymetrix
uses 2 colors and glass
spotted arrays
1 or more color to compare 2 samples against each other
affymetrix
which is more common?
spotted array or affymetrix
affymetrix
what do spotted arrays contain?
oligonucleotides 50-70mer
What are samples labeled with in spotted arrays?
CY5 (red)
CY3 (green)
