Microarray technology, also known as DNA microarray or gene chip technology, has revolutionized the field of genomics by enabling high-throughput analysis of gene expression, protein interactions, and genomic variation. There are several synonyms for microarray technology, depending on the application and technology platform. For instance, array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) is a microarray-based method for detecting copy number variations (CNVs) in DNA samples. Similarly, protein microarrays are used for identifying protein-protein interactions and characterizing protein function. Other synonyms for microarray technology include transcriptomics, a term used for studying gene expression patterns, and genotyping, which refers to the identification of specific genetic variations in a population. Overall, microarray technology has broad applications in biology, genetics, medicine, and biotechnology, and continues to evolve with the development of new tools and applications.
