Introduction to Microarray Analysis (Section D1)
... Microarrays work by exploiting the ability of a given mRNA molecule (target) to bind specifically to, or hybridize to, the DNA template (probe) from which it originated. This mechanism acts as both an "on/off" switch to control which genes are expressed in a cell as well as a "volume control" that i ...
