A gene "chip", a microarray containing an emtire human genome,
used for genetic testing
_____________________________________________________
We continued with the chapter on biotechnology.
We talked about the process of making transgenic mice to use as models of human diseases, the differences between genetic screening and genetic testing, and the main techniques of genetic testing, including those involved in what it is known as pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
We finished discussing the possibilities to do genetic testing on an entire genome using microarrays, specifically gene "chips".
