Gene chip technology is a term that refers to several high-throughput methods for measuring mRNA isolated from cells. The experiment is done on a slide that has been created using the [[photolithography]] techniques developed for mass production of integrated circuits. Accordingly, the slide is called a "chip". Other aspects of the system include a scanner and statistical software. |

Gene chips detect the level of [[messenger RNA|transcripts]] in a sample of tissue. The level of mRNA is often indicative of [[gene expression]], but can be misleading in some cases. |
|||
"GeneChip technology" refers to a trademarked implementation of [[DNA_microarray|Microarrays]]. |
