<h4>Description</h4>
The Microarray Core Facility offers Gene Expression Profiling, SNP, miRNA, and CNV analysis using array technologies from Affymetrix. The Microarray Core specializes in processing RNA extracted from Formalin-Fixed Parafin embedded tissue.
<h4>Technical Specifications</h4>
The core can process almost any of the arrays that are available from Affymetrix. Here are some common selections:
