A microarray is a set of samples, for example DNA, RNA or proteins, arranged on a solid substrate or chip, such as a glass slide or silicon film, that is used in high throughput experiments.

In each type of cell, like a muscle cell or a skin cell, different genes are expressed (turned on) or silenced (turned off). If the cells that are turned on mutate, they could—depending on what role ...

Computational biology and bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops and applies computational methods to analyse large collections of biological data, such as genetic sequences, cell ...
