A full-size, high-density RNA microchip

Caption

A full-size, high-density RNA microchip is about the size of a fingernail and can contain up to 780 000 unique RNA sequences, each occupying a ~14 x 14 μm² area. The presence and the quality of the RNA can be verified via the addition of a complementary DNA strand with a green fluorescent tag.
