This is a quite old comment I know, but wanted to let you know that it's comforting to see that even a master's student needs clarification on this. I'm doing my bachelor's and currently battling imposter syndrome, so thank you.
@@mariemasarikova8575 Haha, thanks for clarifing my syndrome= imposter syndrome-" It disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments" I thought i was able to find cure for HIV :D
I just wanted to give a heartfelt thank you for this video. My first year final tomorrow is an essay about using microarrays to identify heterochromality genes in huskys and this helped me study for it tremendously.
This is great: super simple, super precise, it makes you really understand the basis of microarrays. From here you can go to more complex videos, but you do need a basis like this to start! Congratulations
thank you SO much. i was struggling to understand amidst so much stress but this completely cleared up my confusion and i could not be more grateful right now
Why getting a 90€ Biochemistry-Textbook when UA-cam can help you to understand the topic in about 8min? :) Thank you for your content! It helped me a lot! :)
Dude seriously. I'm learning Biochemistry and required to use the Lehninger book that everyone says is so good but I honestly am learning so much more from UA-cam and only refer to the book when I have to. I'm getting along just fine without it.
Thank you so much for the video! I have a question. Does the cDNA have to be denatured, like with NaOH or something, so that it can bind to the single-stranded probes in the array?
During the process of RT-PCR we get a complimentary ssDNA for which we perform PCR to get a dsDNA, we add this to each of the wells of the array plate and the complimentary DNA probe hybridizes and form a link. My doubt is if the DNA is already ds post RT-PCR how will it bind to another DNA probe. Or are we considering the DNA to be ss post RT- PCR. (the animation does not support the fact that the DNA is ss post RT-PCR at 5:11 ) Anybody?
Hey Dave, just a quick question. How would the cDNA bind to the DNA in microarray if the primary transcript formed after trancsription is spliced? you can just link me some resources for the answer if you want to because i have been watching your videos and you seem to have quite a busy schedule.
C DNA binds to DNA in microarray due to phenomenon called complimentary base paring, or we can say that A base always bind to T like that all base pairs are bound to attach to their complimentary strand due to all complimentary bsepairs . If i am wrong correct me.
@@shrikantnalkar4751 no i get that... i am aware of complementary base pairing.. my question was if the transcript of DNA goes under splicing, how does the cDNA bind to oligonucleotides on microarray... turns out oligonucleotides are the mRNA from which the cDNA is made and not a piece of DNA in the microarray... basically my doubt is solved after doing some research but thnx anyway
I'm a little confused that the approach is to make double-stranded DNA with DNA polymerase and then try and get it to apparently separate and bind to single-stranded probes. Do the probes test for both the sense and antisense strands on each spot?
Hey, you might already have found the answer to your question but in order to make cDNA we use a reverse transcriptase. This is a protein that basically turns your RNA back into DNA. Usually the reverse transcriptase leaves you with a single stranded DNA strand and a round of normal PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is required to turn it into double stranded DNA. Hybridization can then be performed by separating the strands again (either heating or chemical, where heating would be preferred since it is less harmful for the DNA). The stand that is complementary to the probe that was designed will then bind to either one of the strands and start the microarray assay. Which strand binds should not matter too much since the probe should be specific for a certain gene. Hope this helps.
In a nutshell, RNA splicing involves the removal of introns (non-coding parts of the mRNA) and joins the coding sequences (exons) together in order to enable translation. Since the parts removed are non-coding, it does not affect RT-PCR. RT-PCR, standing for Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction, involves reverse transcriptase - converting RNA into cDNA - and (often) Taq DNA polymerase - completing the DNA after denaturation. To sum up, since the RT-PCR process only duplicates CODING DNA, DNA splicing does not affect the process AT ALL, since it removes NON-CODING parts of the original DNA.
So for microarray, we are only using one cDNA strand which was made from the template, the mRNA. However, there is one thing that isn't clear to me and that is about the RT-PCR. RT-PCR generates double-stranded cDNA right? How come in microarray we are only using the single strand and not double? Is there any intermediate enzyme that was involved?
word of caution, rna pol doesnt need a primer right, so reverse transcriptase having a primer feels fishy but its not because although widely called reverse trasncriptase the enzyme itself is synthesizing dna and so in essence its a dna pol and dna pols need the TTT primers.
@5:26 Do I have this right? (no background in science, just leaping in) -There's a double stranded cDNA: one is identical to the DNA template and the other is complementary to template --These two strands are bound together, right? -"One of the two strands of some cDNA molecule made from an mRNA ought to bind to the DNA fragment in a particular well" --How does one of the strand bind to the DNA fragment? My assumption is that the cDNA are bound to each other, so how does one of them separate and bind to the fragment?
Nah it's just that people subscribe for so many different subjects, any given video will only appeal to a small percentage of them. But spread the word!
I have a question here.. Do we amplify cDNA before introducing it to the Array? If yes, we already used a primer to amplify our gene of interest.. In this case, how different genes in the array well would produce color except the one we amplified with our primer? If we don't amplify, how the trace amount of different cDNAs will produce color in array?
Actually..i had the same doubt b4...but now i got to know that if we are adding gene specific primer means, no need to go with microarray since it is a highly powerful tool for differentially expressed genes not for gene expression, i think...im not sure about it.....if you know something means, please leme know bcx iam having a seminar on bee nutrugenin ICS..
Currently, using this to supplement my Master's program. The visuals helped to solidify my readings. Thanks, Dave!

Thanks. I watched it just for general interest in this subject.
Many thanks for this explanation professor Dave!
Thanku very much professor your video really helped me in understanding microarray the way u explains is best
Plz make video on validation and QC of flowcytometry and molecular techniques like RFLP ,SSP and SSOP
This is SO GOOD - signed, a cell biology professor
I really like how you explain the science. I like these video.
good work! thanks from austria!

Thank you! One Question: How the RNA splicing during post-transcriptional modification does not cause any problems for RT-PCR?

med student here. wish our professors can teach like this...
Every time Authentic content ...
I FREAKING LOVE YOU PROFESSOR DAVE EXPLAINS!!!!!
Very impressive explanation.
thank you for everything you do!! :)
Wonderful presentation and thankyou 👌
thank you for your content. you explained it beautifully
100000 times better than my textbook
Thank you sir very beautifully you explain the procedure
Thank you very much , Professor ❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
What kind of sequencing can you perform that Dave explains at 7:15? can you do Next gen sequencing?
Totally dig your style and material! Go Science and kick some assays..

Could you please make a video explaining RNA sequencing. Thanks.
great work! so much helpful in my Master's
Thank you prof Dave... Much love!!!
Tku sir I wish I could have been your student.
This was so amazing...but not gonna lie , the lizard freaked me out a little bit.
Microarrays are rarely used anymore. RNA-seq and even single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is much more common now.
Amazing video. Thank you ❤❤
How have you not already made a connect four?
Thank you please more things explain about genotype
Thank you ! This helped me so much !!
Thanks Professor Dave
that was so helpful thanks prof😉
Thank you so much. This video is really helpful 😃👍
@5:26 Do I have this right? (no background in science, just leaping in)
-There's a double stranded cDNA: one is identical to the DNA template and the other is complementary to template
--These two strands are bound together, right?
-"One of the two strands of some cDNA molecule made from an mRNA ought to bind to the DNA fragment in a particular well"
--How does one of the strand bind to the DNA fragment? My assumption is that the cDNA are bound to each other, so how does one of them separate and bind to the fragment?
Same as when you do PCR in the other direction: heat it
Is this this DNA microarray process described in the video also known as "bulk" RNA sequencing?
Good work
Thank you professor ❤
Could someone explain, how do we know where the complementary strands in the microarray came from (as in, from cell type 1 or cell type 2)?
Does this mean that we need to have a full genome sequenced of that specific organism in order to construct the microarray plate?
I have a question
How could you use Gene Expression Arrays to identify alternative splicing
Some researchers have used algorithms to study expression differences between samples.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11435406/
Thanks so much, helped a lot for my coming exame!! Greetings from Germany
Super helpful! Thank you very much!
Wow, nice video man
Awesome! Thank you.
Is it me or does it seem like Dave's videos are being suppressed the amount of views to subscribers just does not add up
Nah it's just that people subscribe for so many different subjects, any given video will only appeal to a small percentage of them. But spread the word!
Thanks for the info you made it see easy
YOUR LESSON IS ATTRACTIVE AND GUIDELINE FOR US. BUT I HAVE A COMMENT. HOW CAN I CONTACT YOU PERSONALLY?
can you provide ppt of how DNA micoarray uesd for genome sequencing ?
My question is mRNA already bound and complementary cDNA is formed then how they bind with dna probes present in wells
I have a question here.. Do we amplify cDNA before introducing it to the Array? If yes, we already used a primer to amplify our gene of interest.. In this case, how different genes in the array well would produce color except the one we amplified with our primer?

Thankyou sir ✨
Very helpful ❤
Extremely helpful
How is the double stranded cDNA "split" into a single strand to hybridize with the probes in the microarray?
An RNAse endonuclease would have to disassemble the RNA molecule from the cDNA, to allow for the hybridisation
Heating, same as for PCR with DNA polymerase
Thank you so much ❤ your my hero 🦸♂️
Thank you prof
отличное видео, наконец все стало понятно))
Amazing !
Wont you use q pcr for expression?
YOU ARE THE BEST
Thank you so much !
please sir discribed the discovery of drug through micoarray
so you mean a common pool with all the different samples is allowed to hybridise on the array
One of best😍
thank you
I thought this was some advanced connect4 technique.
great content
thank you science jesus
He looks like a smarter version of Charlie day ❤️
Nice!
VERY NICE
thank you sir
