Abstract

The study of gene expression on a genome-wide scale, known as the transcriptome, is a fundamental aspect of understanding the molecular basis of biology and disease. This abstract provides an overview of the significance of microarray technology in unraveling the transcriptome, exploring its applications, challenges, and future prospects. Microarray technology has revolutionized transcriptomic analysis by enabling the simultaneous measurement of thousands to millions of RNA transcripts in a single experiment. This powerful tool has been instrumental in characterizing gene expression patterns, uncovering regulatory networks, and identifying potential therapeutic targets.
