Best Answer

Genome chips are miniaturized plates containing hundreds of microscopic wells on their surface. These wells contain DNA probes. DNA probes are basically stretches of cDNA from a particular genome.

When genomic DNA isolated from an organism is allowed to interact with the cDNA probes, come probes bind to the genomic DNA while others do not (depending on complementarity.

A laser light is used to read each well and look at what sequences are bound. This information is valuable to scientists who can determine changes in gene expression based on the information obtained from a gene chip

What is the importance of genomics?

There are several important things that happen when using genomic imprinting. Genomic imprinting is when the parent genes are also in the child genes. Some parent genes in the child only come from the mother, or just the father. Genomic imprinting is taking DNA and manipulating genes to try and make a better, healthy next generation.
