But what does it mean? Using NetAffx[tm], the portal for GeneChip(R) Annotations to sort out your data.

NetAffx[tm] is the web application and datasource that will help you understand the functional implications of your GeneChip(R) Array data and delve into the details of how the chip works. This workshop will cover the essential topics of how GeneChips (and other microarrays) are designed, how to use the genomic context of the probes and how to look at gene function to do better molecular biology, covering special cases that users often encounter.
