Microarray Workshop for Undergraduate Faculty to be held Summer 2004 at Georgetown University, Washington, DC

基因组主动教学联盟(GCAT)将在2004年夏天举办一次研讨会，为教授们在本科教学和研究中使用微阵列做准备。手册和读物将根据GCAT 2003年在系统生物学研究所举办的研讨会的计划编写。研讨会将在乔治敦大学和基因组研究所(TIGR)举行。讲习班的教职员工将是2003年讲习班的参加者。讲习班期间将首先介绍微阵列的特点和用途，然后对30人进行数据分析培训；其中20人将继续参加微阵列杂交会议。在阵列杂交期间，另外30名参与者将被介绍给微阵列，并举行数据分析研讨会。通过这种方式，教授将准备在他们的教学和研究中与本科生一起使用微阵列。数据分析和微阵列杂交手册将放在GCAT网站上，将撰写介绍讲习班经验教训的文章，并将在讲习班教员的会议上介绍调查结果。

The Genome Consortium for Active Teaching (GCAT) will conduct a workshop in summer, 2004, to prepare professors to use microarrays in their undergraduate teaching and research. The manual and readings will be prepared based on planning from the GCAT's 2003 workshop at Institute for Systems Biology. The workshop will be held at Georgetown University and The Institute for Genome Research (TIGR). The faculty for the workshop will be participants from the 2003 workshop. The workshop period will begin with an introduction to the features and uses of microarrays, followed by data analysis training for 30; 20 of these will continue into a microarray hybridization session. During the array hybridization, another 30 participants will be introduced to microarrays and have a data analysis workshop. In this way, professors will be prepared to use microarrays with undergraduates in both their teaching and their research. The manuals for data analysis and microarray hybridization will be placed on the GCAT web site, articles featuring the lessons of the workshops will be written, and the findings will be presented at meetings by the workshop faculty.
