What is a DNA microarray? A DNA microarray is a glass slide that carries thousands of tiny, precisely placed DNA probes. Each probe is designed to bind to a specific genetic sequence from a target organism, such as a plant, microbe or animal. When labelled DNA from a sample is applied, it binds to the matching probes and a scanner detects fluorescent signals: a unique genetic “fingerprint” that reveals what is present in the sample.
