Uses and types of microarrays
Microarrays are currently used to do many different things: to detect andmeasure gene expression at the mRNA or protein level; to find mutations andto genotype; to (re)sequence DNA; to locate chromosomal changes (CGH =comparative genomic hybridization), and more. There are many different waysto do these things without microarrays, but microarrays promise a high-throughput approach to the tasks.
There are many different types of microarrays (called platforms) in use, but allhave a high density and number of biomolecules fixed onto a well-definedsurface. Low density means 100s (e.g. protein antibodies), medium densitywould be 1000s to 10s of 1000s (e.g. cDNA arrays), and high-density is 100sto 1000s of 1000s, i.e.millions (e.g. short oligonucleotide arrays).
In general there are five basic aspects of microarrays: a) couplingbiomolecules to a platform; b) preparing samples for detection; c)hybridization; d) scanning; and e) analyzing the data.
Obviously we’re interested in e), but without some knowledge of a) to d),we’d be dangerous.

A knolwedge of the Polymerase ChainReaction (PCR) can be helpful
This reaction is used to amplify specific DNA sequences ina complex mixture when the ends of the sequence areknown. The source is heat-denatured into single strands.Two synthetic oligonucleotides complementary to the 3’ends of the segment of interest are added in great excessto the denatured DNA and the temperature is lowered to50-60˚C or even lower. The genomic DNA remainsdenatured, because the complementary strands are at toolow a concentration to encounter each other during theperiod of incubation, but the specific oligonucleotides,which are at a very high concentration, hybridize with theircomplementary sequences in the genomic DNA.

PCR, ctd
The hybridized oligos then serve as primers for DNAchain synthesis, which begins upon addition of asupply of dNTPs and a temperature resistantpolymerase such as that from Thermus aquilus (abacterium that lives in hot springs). This enzyme,called Taq polymerase, can extend primers attemperatures up to 72˚C. When synthesis iscomplete, the whole mixture is heated further (to95˚C) to melt the newly formed duplexes. When thetemperature is lowered again, a new round ofsynthesis takes place because excess primer is stillpresent. Repeated cycles of synthesis (cooling) andmelting (heating) quickly amplify.

cDNA microarrays on glass slidesA little more detail
An overview of the Brown-De Risi- Iyer technology, based on—the 2000 CSH Microarray Course notes, Nature GeneticsSupp, Jan 1999,—two books edited by M Schena: DNA Microarrays, APractical Approach, OUP 1999, and Microarray BiochipTechnology, Eaton Publishing, 2000,—DNA Arrays or Analysis of Gene Expression byM. Eisen and P. Brown, and—the experiences of my colleagues.

cDNA arrays: history
cDNA microarrays have evolved from Southern blots, withclone libraries gridded out on nylon membrane filters beingan important and still widely used intermediate. Things tookoff with the introduction of non-porous solid supports, suchas glass - these permitted miniaturization - andfluorescence based detection.
Currently, up to about 30,000 cDNAs are spotted onto amicroscope slide.

Preparing RNA:CELL CULTUREAND HARVEST
RNA ISOLATION
cDNA PRODUCTION
Designing experiments to profile conditions/perturbations/mutations and carefully controlled growth conditions
RNA yield and purity are determined by system. PolyA isolation is preferablebut total RNA is useable. Two RNA samples are hybridized/chip.
Single strand synthesis or amplification of RNA can be performed. cDNA production includes incorporation of Aminoallyl-dUTP.

Hybing the Chip:
ARRAY HYBRIDIZATION
PROBE LABELING
DATA ANALYSIS
Cy3 and Cy5 RNA samples are simultaneouslyhybridized to chip. Hybs are performed for 5-12 hoursand then chips are washed.
Two RNA samples are labelled with Cy3 orCy5 monofunctional dyes via a chemicalcoupling to AA-dUTP. Samples are purifiedusing a PCR cleanup kit.
Ratio measurements are determined viaquantification of 532 nm and 635 nmemission values. Data are uploaded to theappropriate database where statistical andother analyses can then be performed.
