Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In microarray analysis, the fluorescence intensity is used to determine the level of gene expression. If a gene is inhibited by hormone treatment, it would not be expressed, resulting in no or very low fluorescence. Therefore, the sequences spotted on the array that show no fluorescence would be the ones whose expression is inhibited.
