We have established a DNA Microarray Laboratory facility. We built
our own robot and scanner to do studies with gridded cDNA microarrays (for
more information, see our Functional Genomics homepage at
http://sequence.aecom.yu.edu/bioinf/funcgenomic.html). We have also just
installed an Affymatrix GeneChip machine (http://www.affymetrix.com) to do
studies using oligonucleotide probe arrays. We are starting to do real
applications of this technology. Like you, I would be interested in
learning the details of the ways facilities are providing or planning to
provide this technology. Discussion on the ABRF electronic forum would be
very useful. In addition, I have suggested to the organizers of the
ABRF'99 meeting that they include a session on microarray technology.
Please let me know if you would be interested in such a session.
