Abstract
Method and system for overlaying at least three microarray images to obtain a multicolor composite image, which is then displayed on a monitor of a computer system. The microarray images are taken from a microarray scanner of a DNA microarray and can be viewed simultaneously through the use of the image overlays where each image is represented by a different color. Each pixel of the composite image is generated by the OR operator applied to all corresponding pixels of the microarray images. Registration of the microarray images can be altered with a keyboard or mouse of the computer system.
