A transcriptome microarray, also called expression array, contains probes for all annotated genes or entire transcriptome represented as tens of thousands of spots on a chip. Single hybridization of labeled cDNA from experimental and control samples allows parallel assessment of expression differences. Statistical analysis identifies hundreds to thousands of differentially expressed genes by fold change and p-value. RAPD assesses DNA polymorphism, genome sequencing determines DNA sequence rather than expression levels, and ChIP assesses protein-DNA interactions, making them unsuitable for simu

M-FISH uses combinatorial fluorescence strategy where each chromosome is painted with a unique combination of fluorochromes, creating a distinct spectral signature decoded by software. Down syndrome results from trisomy 21. In M-FISH, chromosome 21 probes labeled with a specific fluorochrome combination appear thrice per metaphase spread instead of twice, readily identified by extra same-colored chromosome and automated image analysis. Color-coded fluorophores thus enable rapid whole-karyotype screening without chromosome-specific conventional G-banding expertise. Probe size, RNA tagging, and

Allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization uses labeled probes complementary to wild-type and mutant alleles to genotype individuals. Under stringent conditions, perfect match hybridizes strongly while mismatched probe shows negligible signal. An individual hybridizing exclusively to mutant probe carries mutant sequence on both homologous chromosomes, indicating homozygous mutant genotype expressing disease phenotype if recessive condition is pathogenic. Heterozygous carriers bind both probes, while unaffected homozygotes bind only wild-type probe. This differential hybridization enables ra
