Biology encompasses many scales of study, ranging from the atomic interactions of molecules to the interactions among populations of species. Genomics studies are a recent expansion of the scale of molecular biology, reflecting our desire to understand how genes and their products interact as a system, using tools capable of measuring many components of the genome simultaneously.

Penn Microarray Facility provides instrumentation and expertise for RNA transcript profiling. DNA microarrays provide a highly parallel means of measuring the abundance of RNA for targeted genes in a biological sample. The Facility supports two microarray formats: oligonucleotide arrays synthesized by Affymetrix Inc. and arrays of probes printed in-house on glass slides. This reflects our goal of offering a range of cost and performance options suitable for a variety of experimental questions.
