微陣列
Different kinds of biological assays are called microarrays:
ØDNA microarrays, such as cDNA microarrays and oligonucleotide microarrays
ØProtein microarrays
ØTissue microarrays
ØTransfection microarrays (also called cell microarrays)
ØChemical Compound Microarrays
ØAntibody microarrays
ØGene Chip Analysis
In
computer science an array is a data structure consisting
of a group of elements that are accessed by indexing. In most programming languages each
element has the same data type and the array occupies a contiguous area of
storage. Most programming languages have a built-in array data type.
Some
programming languages support array programming (e.g., APL, newer versions of
Fortran) which generalises operations and functions to work transparently over
arrays as they do with scalars, instead of requiring looping over array
members.
Multi-dimensional
arrays are accessed using more than one index: one for each dimension.
Arrays
can be classified as fixed-sized arrays (sometimes known as static arrays)
whose size cannot change once their storage has been allocated, or dynamic
arrays, which can be resized.
Micro is an English prefix of Greek origin that refers to an object as being smaller than an object or scale of focus, in contrast with macro.
