definition
Oligonucleotide DNA microarrays consist of usually thousands to many hundreds of thousands spots of DNA oligonucleotides (25- to 60 bases) which have been created by either in situ synthesis or deposition of presynthesized oligonucleotides on a carrier substrate. Applications for those arrays are in the detection of copy number variations or small structural changes as well as in genotyping (if oligonucleotides have been designed for SNP detection).
