About the Practical Course

Microarray technology finds applications in a variety of research fields from developmental biology to deep ocean research. **Deadline for registration: June 1st, 2007
Since the first microarray study on human gene expression was published in 1996, the technology has expanded in many directions including many varieties of gene expression arrays, tiling arrays, array CGH and SNP arrays. The aim of this workshop is to give the participants a practical introduction into the analysis of gene expression using microarrays. The course takes the participants through the complete process of a microarray analysis, from RNA isolation through to data analysis. The practical programme of laboratory and blackboard sessions is supported by a series of lectures by visiting scientists presenting their current research in this area. This training programme is organised in the Center for Marine Science and Technology (CMST). CMST is one of the important departments of Manonmaniam Sundarnar University, a state university in TamilNadu, India.
