Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA microarray technology allows for the examination of the patterns of gene expression for a large number of genes simultaneously. This is achieved by using a slide or chip containing multiple small spots, each with a different DNA sequence that corresponds to a specific gene. The sample RNA is hybridized to the chip, and the resulting pattern of hybridization allows researchers to analyze the expression levels of thousands of genes at once. Antisense RNA and RNA interference can be used to knock down specific genes, PCR amplifies specific DNA sequences, and CRISPR technology is used for gene editing.
