What we do: The GeneChip Microarray Core provides access to high-density oligonucleotide microarray technology based on the Affymetrix GeneChip and NimbleGen platforms. We also provide an integrated environment for data analysis, dissemination, and archival. These versatile platforms allows researchers to perform RNA expression profiling in multiple prokaryotic and eukaryotic species, as well as DNA genetic analyses such as single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assays, resequencing, loss-of-heterozygosity, comparative genomic hybridization, whole genome transcription factor localization, whole genome location analysis by ChIP-on-chip, promoter arrays and mitochondrial mutation detection. The core also offers sequencing based on Roche's GS FLX System.
The GeneChip Microarray Core functions as the central Affymetrix and NimbleGen facility for investigators at the VA Hospital, the Moore’s Cancer Center, the general UCSD campus and other academic, non-profit organizations in the San Diego area. The core can also provide Affymetrix services for commercial enterprises. The core has been in existence since 1999 and has processed over 3500 samples.
