'''Microarray analysis techniques''' are used in interpreting the data generated from experiments on DNA, RNA, and protein [[microarray]]s, which allow researchers to investigate the expression state of a large number of genes - in many cases, an organism's entire [[genome]] - in a single experiment. Such experiments can generate a very large volumevolumes of geneticdata, allowing researchers to assess the overall state of a cell or organism. These large data thatamount can be difficult to analyze, especially in the absence of good gene annotation.
