Expression Microarray Services

Microarray-based RNA and microRNA(miRNA) expression analysis

The DNA Microarray Core provides full microarray hybridization services, including RNA isolation, probe labeling, hybridization, scanning and data extraction.  The raw data is then uploaded into the caArray database system for storage and management.  Users receive quantified microarray data sheets ready for further analysis.  This Core coordinates with the Biostatistics and Informatics Facility for microarray data mining and management.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently emerged as crucial regulator of gene expression, development, proliferation and differentiation, and the this Core provides microarray technology to miRNA expression analysis, thereby permitting sensitive and accurate global miRNA profiling.
