Best Answer

BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) arrays are a type of DNA arrays. BAC arrays are usually used for a technique called array CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridisation) which is used to identify gross deletions or amplifications in DNA (which for example is common in cancer). DNA arrays include BAC arrays but also oligo, cDNA, and promoter arrays. Oligo and cDNA arrays are typically used for gene expression analysis (looking to see how heavily expressed each gene is). Oligo arrays can also be used for SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) analysis. Promoter arrays are used to identify transcription factor binding sites.
