DNA chip

Definition
AI-generated

Solid support microarray of DNA probes hybridizing labeled targets—older genome-wide genotyping and some expression platforms before NGS dominance.

Why it matters in GWAS

Bioinformatics methods determine how variants, expression, and epigenetic state are measured and summarized—shaping GWAS covariates, multi-omic integration, and functional follow-up.

Example usage

"The replication analysis used DNA chip to keep assumptions consistent across cohorts."
