The computer chips come from semi conductive minerals usually germanium, silicon, and finding those in nature is not always easy but, they are minerals they are properly manufactured, firstly they are melted down and then are pulled into a giant single crystal that is perfectly shaped to fit the needs of the computer chip manufacturer, then they are cleaned and cut within a few thousandths of a inch usually thinner than a piece of paper and smaller than a rice grain, then etched with UV resin, washes, and copper to make microscopic pathways for transistors and so forth, then after that they are put into they're cases and have the very small like thinner than a hair small gold electrical wires attached to each point of the chip.So from a outside perspective yes they are still minerals but refined and manufactured to fit a purpose entirely different than the material itself is.

When dna microarrays containing asos are used to genotype snps, what form of dna constitutes the probe molecules?
umka2103 [35]

DNA microarray uses 20-40 sequence-specific oligonucleotides as probes to identify the SNP.

DNA microarray is a technique used to measure gene expression. It works on the principle of hybridization.

The genome of the reference organism is attached to a solid surface (silicon chip). The DNA of the test organism is made to hydride with the reference organism. Depending on the level of hybridization the fluorescent or the chemiluminescent is measured to identify the expression.

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the change in the single nucleotide of the genome. SNPs can be identified with the help of DNA microarray.
