Answer Description

Similar to other array-based methods, except probes represent transcribed regions rather than the entire genome; therefore, subsequent intensity analysis reflects changes in gene expression which do not necessarily reflect changes in genomic DNA. Advantages: good for identifying possible gene deletions as a by-product of a gene expression experiment. Disadvantages: reduction or loss of signal does not necessarily indicate gene deletion - results must be followed up with more experiments.
