International Microarray Workshop: January 2008
|
PLANT AND ANIMAL LONG-OLIGONUCLEOTIDE
MICROARRAY WORKSHOP
January 6-11, 2008
University of Arizona
Tucson, Arizona
This workshop will comprise a
combination of lectures and hand-on laboratory sessions. The
participants will employ Arabidopsis, maize or rice(plant side),
and human, bovine, or pig (animal side) whole genome
70-mer oligonucleotide microarrays in their laboratory work (for
details of the plant arrays see: Arabidopsis, maize). The
primary goal of the workshop is obtaining optimal results using oligonucleotide-based
microarrays.
The workshop is divided into two parts: Part I covers wet-lab aspects of microarray target production, microarray
hybridization, and scanning. It starts with registration on
Sunday, January 6, from 2-4PM, with the first formal activities at
5PM, and ends on Wednesday evening. Part II covers data
extraction, statistical analysis, and experimental design, and runs on Thursday
and Friday. The workshop ends at 5pm on Friday.
Note: The number of
airline connections from Tucson to San Diego on Friday evening allows workshop participants convenient access to the Plant and Animal Genome XVI
Meeting (January 12-16, 2008).
Specific topics include:
- Experimental
design.
- Probe
preparation and microarray printing.
- Microarray
rehydration and probe immobilization.
- Target
preparation, including RNA extraction, direct and indirect labeling,
and amplification techniques.
- Microarray
hybridization.
- Array
scanning and data extraction.
- Data
analysis and archiving.
Registration (Part I plus Part II)
is $675, which includes costs of the
microarrays and other consumable supplies that are used. Part II
registration only is $275. Part I participants are limited to
40 on a
first-come, first-serve basis. Overall participation is limited to 60 individuals.
