Example sentences for: microarrays

How can you use “microarrays” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Among the several genes that have been shown to be differentially required or expressed in the different leg discs (for example, Ultrabithorax [ 27], Antp [ 28] and Sex combs reduced [ 29, 30]), only Antp was among the set of cDNAs on our microarrays.

  • Hu and co-workers [ 27 ] compared amplified and unamplified samples using total RNA obtained from human glioma cell lines and 2300 clone microarrays (printed with duplicates on the same array) to evaluate a similar T7 based protocol with a TS mechanism adopted from Wang and Miller et al.

  • The principal technical difficulty such a study must surmount is that the quantity of probe needed for efficient hybridization to microarrays is large relative to the amount of RNA contained in a single Drosophila imaginal disc.

  • Cross-hybridization among similar sequences is a major complication in microarrays fabricated with cDNAs.

  • In fact, when microarrays were first being developed, investigators described situations in which their microarray hybridization data were dominated by this artifactual "polyA effect" (or its converse when polyA tails are in the labeled probe) [ 3 4 ] . To reduce the polyA effect, it is therefore common practice to add unlabeled polyA to the hybridization mixture to bind to the polyT segments of the hybridization probe, thus competing with the polyA segments in the microarray spots.
