This microarray simulation introduces students to microarrays, the complexities of gene expression, and the role of gene expression in cancer. Using simulated microarray technology, students compare the relative expression levels of 6 different genes in healthy lung cells and lung cancer cells. Students then discuss the significance of the relative expression levels with respect to the genes' roles in causing cancer. Teacher's manual includes instructions for a bonus dry lab.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful, engaging lab! This lab makes the complexity of microarrays attainable through a paper activity and wet lab experience. It is easy to set up and finish within two 45 minute class periods. Suggested extensions are engaging and designed for a deeper understanding of this topic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is so simple to do but brings home important lessons Differential gene regualtion is a difficult concept for students. This microarray simulation lets students explore very sophisticated genomics methods but does not cost an arm and a leg and does not take much time.
