imagine you want to learn more about Mike Smith's osteosarcoma. How could you use microarray technology to determine which genes have been affected in his tumor cells?

By using microarray technology you can calculate the ratio by analyzing the colors on the glass plate. If the ratio is greater than 1, then the gene is induced by tumor formation. Less than 1 then it is suppressed by tumor formation. If the ratio is 0, the gene is not expressed in either cell. If the ratio is = to 1, the gene is not affected.
