OBJECTIVETo probe into thinking and prospect of application of gene chip technique to research of the channel-viscera correlativity.

METHODSAdopt literature analytic method, review and analyze current state of application of gene chip in biology and medicine, and achievements in studies of channel-viscera correlativity.

RESULTSIn biological and medical fields, gene chip can be applied to high flux expression parallel analysis, large-scale gene discovery and gene analysis, gene polymorphous analysis, genome study, etc, especially, it has important application values in gene expression map; channel-viscera correlativity need stereo-crossing studies by multiple subjects, multiple systems, multiple directions and multiple levels, being more systematic and sequential, and gene chip technique is applicable to this requirement.

CONCLUSIONWide application of gene chip technique will comprehensively promote deep study of channel-viscera correlativity.
