Overview
The Genomic Expression and Microarray Core is part of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine's core infrastructure for integrated functional genomics services. These services are available for the research community, including investigators at Children's Hospital Medical Center of Cincinnati.
This infrastructure builds upon and complements our existing network of highly successful cores, including transgenic, gene knockout, and physiological analysis core facilities, as well as cores for DNA sequencing and NMR structure analysis, genetic epidemiology, and statistical genetics.
The infrastructure divides services among three interactive cores. The Genomic Expression and Microarray Core will provide gene expression profiling services using cDNA microarrays printed on glass slides. The capabilities of this infrastructure will allow COM investigators to gain detailed insight into the concerted changes of gene expression patterns that underlie many biological processes.
The availability of these services markedly enhances biomedical research at our institution, creating new collaborations, insights, and excitement to test hypotheses explaining the genetic origins of normal biological functions and pathophysiologic responses.
