The Vancouver Prostate Centre’s Microarray Facility is a multi-platform facility that provides research projects with services ensuring<br />
the successful design, execution <strong>and</strong> interpretation of microarray experiments. The facility offers commercial (Agilent, Illumina <strong>and</strong><br />
NimbleGen) whole-genome <strong>and</strong> custom high-density microarrays for gene expression, miRNA, copy number variation <strong>and</strong> epigenetic<br />
studies. Exon capture arrays were recently added which when integrated with next generation sequencing technologies, will make whole<br />
genome <strong>and</strong> targeted re-sequencing studies possible.<br />
The Facility is recognized as an expert in the design <strong>and</strong> use of custom spotted cDNA, oligonucleotide <strong>and</strong> protein microarrays, <strong>and</strong> in the<br />
analysis of the resulting data. Moreover, the facility has added software that allows seamless cross-platform integration <strong>and</strong> analysis of<br />
expression, genomic <strong>and</strong> next generation sequence data making extremely powerful <strong>and</strong> comprehensive studies possible.<br />
