In the microarray shown in your textbook, the cDNAs were labelled with red and green fluorescent tags. How then do you end up with spots on the microarray emitting yellow light?


▸
In light, red and green are two of the primary colours, and the combination of the two will produce yellow light.


▸
The yellow light comes from the laser, and a yellow spot indicates that neither cDNA hybridized to that spot on the microarray.


▸
The over expression of one cDNA relative to the other will skew the colour pattern of the spot on the microarray. This results in the yellow colour.


▸
The colour choice was an arbitrary decision by the artist and doesn't reflect how the process actually works.
