Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microarray analysis can be used to analyze gene expression patterns in cancer cells and can help determine the subtype of cancer. This method involves using a microarray chip with a set of known genes and comparing the expression levels in the patient's cancer cells to those of a normal tissue sample. This can reveal specific gene expression patterns that are characteristic of certain cancer subtypes. A and B are both used for detecting specific proteins or DNA sequences, but are not as effective for determining cancer subtype. D and E are not relevant to cancer subtype determination.
