Gene chip and its use in the detection of mutations / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Gene chip is an important biological technology, which is developing quickly recently. In this article, we reviewed the origin, development, basic operation of gene chip. Several kinds of gene chips including tiled array, direct allele specific fluorescence targeting (DAFT) array, labeled auxiliary oligonucleotides array, ligase detection reaction array, and peptide nucleic acid array were introduced as examples for their use in mutation detection. The prospect of the use of gene chip in optimizing drug therapy was also discussed.
