Workshop Summary Microarray analysis allows massively parallel acquisition of genetic information. Microarrays are manufactured as miniature collections of complementary DNAs (cDNAs), oligonucleotides, proteins, and other biomolecules of interest. Advanced contact printing, ink-jetting and semi-conductor methods produce arrays of >10,000 discrete elements on solid surfaces. The manufactured microarrays are reacted with labeled (typically fluorescent) samples and microarray signals are obtained as fluorescent images using sophisticated optical devices. Data from the scanned images are "extracted" using software tools and visualized by clustering and other sophistical algorithms from computer science. The mined data provide detailed genomic information at the gene expression, genotyping and proteomic levels. Recent advances in cleanroom technology provide affordable access to state-of-the-art microarray science in a completely integrated environment.
