DNA microarrays consist of DNA microscopic points that are attached to a solid surface such as glass, plastic or silicon chip and formed as an array. The fixed pieces of DNA are considered as searchers. In an experiment, we can use thousands of searchers. Therefore, any microarray consists of the same number of genetic tests as the experiment performed on all of them in parallel. Whit this ability, arrays have speeded up the biological investigations. Microarray technology can be seen as a continued development of southern blotting. However, the most important stage in this technology, analysis of data, requires reliable bioinformatics tools achieving high reliabilities. Infectious diseases,...
