Welcome to the UCSF Sandler Center Functional Genomics Core Facility. The facility was established in 2000 and facilitates the use of microarray technology for the research community by providing state-of-the-art technology and expertise in the use of arrays for genomics studies. We offer a comprehensive and integrated approach to array analysis through our collaboration with UCSF biostatisticians and the CTSI.
We are a multidisciplinary group that interact closely with investigators and offer support for all phases of each study, including experimental design, sample preparation, hybridization, quality control, data analysis, and database maintenance. For additional information on available technologies and services, and affiliated Cores please click here.
The core currently provides services using the Agilent 60mer ink-jet platform. These arrays are available for a variety of applications and are easily customizable at no additional cost. Previously, we have provided in-house spotted long nucleotide arrays. More information for MEEBO and Operon spotted arrays, including protocols, design details, and gal files can be found here in the archive.
