Single DNA chip can provide information on thousand of genes simultaneously.DNA Micro array technology helps in the identification of new genes. Application of Micro array is as follow:
1) Disease Diagnosis: DNA Micro array technology helps researcher learn more about different diseases such as heart disease,mental illness,especially study of cancer.
2) Drug discovery: Pharmacogenomics is the study of correlation between therapeutic response to drugs and the genetic profiles of the patients.
3) Toxicological Research:Microarray technology provides robust platform for the research of the impact of toxins on the cell and their passing on to the progeny. Toxicogenomics establishes correlation between responses to toxicants and the changes in the genetic profile of the cell exposed to such toxicants.
