Reaction with all four of the dideoxy nucleotides (A, G, C and T)

present, and with different fluorescent colors on each.

One reaction can get the sequence of a fragment of DNA as long

as 700 or so nucleotides

Two-colour microarrays, the probes are

oligonucleotides, cDNA or small

fragments of PCR products

corresponding to mRNAs. This type of

array is typically hybridized with cDNA

from two samples to be compared (e.g.

patient and control) that are labeled

with two different fluorophores (e.g.

Rhodamine (red) and Fluorescein

(green)).
