Gene Chip Analysis

The Biomolecular Reseach Facility analyzes gene expression with the Affymetrix GeneChip system.

  • 3' expression arrays
  • genome wide expression arrays
  • genome wide exon arrays
  • SNP arrays
  • chromosome tiling arrays
  • resequencing arrays

Services

  • sample preparation from cultured cells or tissues
  • standard Affymetrix analysis
  • data analysis
  • data mining
  • quality control by spiked in genes, 3':5' ratios

Instrumentation

  • The Affymetrix GeneChip system comrises:
  • oven to hydridize cDNA to gene chip
  • fluidics station for washing chip
  • laser GeneArray scanner for measuring amounts of bound probes
  • software suite.
