Advantages of the DNA Microarray:
- Provides data for thousands of genes
- One experiment instead of many
- Fast and easy to obtain results
- Huge step closer to discovering cures for diseases and cancer
- Different parts of DNA can be used to study gene expresion
- Correlations in results do not mean causation
- Very little knowledge is available about many genes
- Just because mRNA is "turned on" doesn't mean proteins are made
- Will the findings lead to unethical medical procedures?
- Scientists have no standardized way to share results
