ARC Research Network in Microarray Technology

该提案的主要目的是将首要的基因组技术转化为标准的研究工具;微阵列现在是任何研究关键生物过程遗传学的人的优先事项。澳大利亚研究界面临的一个主要挑战是掌握微阵列技术的各个方面，并使其随时可用。我们将通过建立一个网络来满足这些需求，以便： - 定期召开研究会议， - 促进阵列方法学和生物信息学方面的培训， - 协调技术创新，-提供中央数据仓库， - 提供对自动化高水平基因注释的访问， - 提供数据挖掘工具， - 制定数据管理和交换标准

The primary aim of this proposal is to transform the premier genomic technology into a standard research tool; microarrays are now a priority for anyone studying the genetics underlying key biological processes. A principal challenge for the Australian research community is to capture all aspects of microarray technology and make them readily available. We will address these needs by developing a network to: -establish regular research meetings, -facilitate training in array methodologies and bioinformatics, -co-ordinate innovation of technologies,-provide centralised data warehousing, -provide access to automated high-level gene annotation, -provide data mining tools, -set standards for data management and exchange
