| Summary: | cDNA Microarray is a powerful tool of technology to study gene expression. The technique
allows simultaneous analysis on thousands of gene expression in a single assay compared to
traditional molecular biology tools which generally allow only single gene expression at a
time. This high throughput technology has been applied in diversified researches such as in
toxicology, human nutrition, environmental, clinical diagnoses and many more. To the best of
our knowledge, the technique has not been widely applied in Halal research although studies
on the effects of consumption of alcohol and toxic compounds to human from the medical
perspective and safety have been reported. This review sets to look at the feasibility of the
cDNA Microarray technology in Halal research with a case study on the effects of alcohol
intake on gene expression as precedent of the promising technology in deciphering the effects
of Halal versus Haram components particularly from animals to human cells.
