DNA microarrays allow researchers to analyze gene expression across an entire genome. Microarrays contain many copies of single genes arranged on a small chip. By detecting differences in gene expression levels between cell populations, microarrays can identify genes involved in processes like development, cancer, and cellular responses. Microarrays have been used to identify two subtypes of diffuse large B cell lymphoma with distinct gene expression profiles, which helps physicians predict patient outcomes and guide development of targeted cancer treatments.
