Image The widespread use of microarrays has led to a paradigm shift in detecting sequence variations and gene expression on a genomic scale. This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of possibilities. There are continuing developments in the areas of pathogen detection, mapping of DNA protein binding sites (ChIP on chip), analysis of recombination, and determination of copy number variations. In addition, the fields of protein and tissue/whole cell microarrays are just beginning to mature.

The mission of the Coriell Institute Microarray Resource is to provide investigators with the tools they need to fulfill their research goals. Our services fall into two main categories. The first is sample preparation/data analysis for Affymetrix expression and SNP profiling GeneChips. The second is to assist in the design and analysis of arrays for non-model organism expression profiling or unique applications such as ChIP on chip or resequencing. For these experiments, the Resource, along with Affymetrix or other 3rd party vendor will work with investigators to produce an array, as well as, preparing samples for hybridization.
