Microarrays have provided a means by which microspots of DNA, protein or small organic compounds can be probed with possible binding ligands. Advances in techniques – particularly fluorescence based approaches for detecting the incidence of interactions , this has enabled the simultaneous analysis of thousands of variables in a single experiment.
Accuracy: can be defined as the degree of conformity of the measured quantity to its actual (true) value.
Towards the end of the previous millennium the field of biological science witnessed an immense explosion of genomic data which was mainly due to a breakthrough in the field of informatics. One aspect of this phenomenon was the invention of the gene microarrays in the late 1980s [1].
