NCIt definition : This term describes an experiment in which probes representing genes that one wants
to study are affixed to a substrate (e.g., a glass slide) and then exposed to target
molecules (sometimes referred to as the sample). The level of hybridization between
a specific probe and a target (typically indicated through fluorescence and measured
through image analysis) indicates the level of the gene corresponding to that probe
in a test solution.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A process that allows thousands of pieces of DNA that are fixed to a glass
slide to be analyzed at one time. It is used to identify the genes (pieces of DNA)
in specific cells or tissue that are actively used to make RNA, which then may be
used to make proteins.;
