miRNA microarray can detect iso-miRNAs, but qRT-PCR requires perfect consistency with the primer sequences21.
Our result showed that actinobacterial microarray can detect high-relative-abundance actinobacteria and reflect their changes in health as well as in shrimp pond conditions.
Microarray can detect the simultaneous expressions and interactions of thousands of genes [ 5].
The miRMAX microarray can detect miRNA expression with only 100 ng LMW RNA input.
Microarray can detect the changes at the RNA expression level, but will miss many activity changes at protein level.
From a technical point of view, the PCR and microarray can detect only predefined target species, whereas PCR and sequencing possibly detects all eubacterial species.
Gene expression profiling data from DNA microarray can detect the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously, providing an effective way for mining disease-related genes and revealing information of the regulatory networks and biological pathways of genes.
The custom microarray can detect 22 128 CCGG segments on Chromosome 7 and 14 472 on the X chromosome, which correspond to 46 and 39% of the total segments on each chromosome, respectively.
