What is another word for Dna Chip?
Pronunciation: [dˌiːˌɛnˈe͡ɪ t͡ʃˈɪp] (IPA) 
A DNA chip is a glass or plastic slide that contains a large number of single-stranded DNA molecules spotted or synthesized on its surface. These DNA molecules act as probes and can hybridize with complementary DNA sequences in a sample to detect genetic variations, mutations, or gene expression levels. Synonyms for DNA chip include microarray, gene chip, biochip, DNA array, expression array, SNP chip, genotyping chip, and microfluidic chip. Each of these terms refers to a specific type or application of DNA chips, but they all share the capacity to rapidly analyze thousands to millions of DNA segments in a parallel and automated fashion, enabling researchers to uncover genetic links to diseases, drug responses, and environmental factors.
