Whole genome DNA microarrays • Construction of the array requires • Sequenced genome • Identification and annotation of ORFs • Design and synthesis of oligonucleotides • for amplicon preparation or as probes • Printing of amplicons or oligonucleotides
Almost every gene is represented on the array Gene A Gene B Gene probes Printing or in situ synthesis
Common array formats Pre-synthesized probes (PCR products or oligonucleotides) are printed onto the array platform Probes individually synthesized on array platform photolitho- graphic Ink jet
Non-contact Ink Jet printing Pin Spotting Ink Jet • Pin Spotting Challenges: • Passive volume control • Clone contamination • Clone storage/handling/tracking • Dependent upon physical reagent • Labor intensive (PCR etc) • Surface artifacts of pins • Missing features
Analysis of changes in gene expression Sample A RNA Sample B RNA reverse transcribe incorporating Cy3 or Cy5 dye Sample A cDNASample B cDNA remove unincorporated dyes Hybridize
