DNA microarray technology has revolutionized life-science research. Using arrays, researchers can examine the full complexity of a genome in a single experiment, allowing them to identify and study complex genetic regulatory networks and to begin to understand biology on a genome-wide scale. Arrays have been applied to studies in gene expression, genome mapping, SNP discrimination, transcription factor activity, toxicity, pathogen identification and detection, and many other applications.

Expanding from the core microarray application, differential gene expression analysis, Roche NimbleGen has rapidly expanded high-density DNA microarray applications into diverse and rapidly growing areas of life science research including the study of human genomic DNA copy number variation, the study of transcription regulation and chromatin structure, DNA methylation analysis, DNase hypersensitivity, and rapid microbial resequencing and SNP detection.
