DNA microarrays are a molecular tool that enables genome-wide analysis of gene expression. The basic principle of microarrays, which is hybridization of complementary nucleic acids, has been in use for more than 3 decades. However, recent advances in the fields of genetics, computer science and bioinformatics enabled the transition from the analysis of individual transcripts to the genome-wide level. As in numerous other fields, microarrays found their applications also in the field of cartilage and bone research.
