To all investigators involved in microarray technologies:
The deadline for submissions to the new ABRF MICROARRAY RESEARCH GROUP STUDY is
December 29, 2000. Please note that this is a new study. Please submit data
to this study even if you participated in our previous study (which was held at
the end of 1999 and the first two months of 2000). The survey form for this
new study is posted at http://brcweb.bio.cornell.edu/marg2000/index.html.
The goal of this study is to build a current picture of the microarray analysis
world. The focus is on both Affymetrix GeneChip and all sources of cDNA,
oligonucleotide, and protein microarray spotting technologies. Laboratories
using these technologies can participate in this study by filling out a web
based survey form. The form is used to collect information such as
instrumentation, protocols, staffing, funding, and throughput. This data will
be analyzed to build a current profile of microarray analysis laboratories.
Please note that this is not a sales or marketing survey. The survey is being
done by the Microarray Research Group of the Association of Biomolecular
Resource Facilities (http://www.abrf.org). The survey is geared to gather
information anonymously from academic, pharmaceutical, and commercial
laboratories that offer microarray technologies as a shared resource.
Individual laboratories that have these technologies are also welcome to
participate in the survey.
The results of our last survey are posted on the web at
http://abrf.org/ABRF/ResearchCommittees/MARG/MARG_Survey_2000_Poster.pdf.
An analysis of data submitted to this survey will be presented at the ABRF2001
meeting in February 2001 (http://www.faseb.org/meetings/abrf2001) and will then
be posted on the web.
We appreciate your participation in this study.
