Over the past several years, microarray technology has evolved into a critical component of any discovery-based program. Since 1999, the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) Microarray Research Group (MARG) has conducted biennial surveys designed to generate a profile of microarray service laboratories and, more importantly, an overview of technology development and implementation. Survey questions addressed instrumentation, protocols, staffing, funding, and work flow in a microarray facility. Presented herein are the results of the MARG 2005 survey; where possible, trends in the field are discussed and compared to data collected from previous surveys.
在过去几年中,微阵列技术已发展成为任何基于发现的项目的关键组成部分。自1999年以来,生物分子资源设施协会(ABRF)微阵列研究小组(MARG)每两年进行一次调查,旨在描绘微阵列服务实验室的概况,更重要的是,概述技术的发展和应用情况。调查问题涉及微阵列设施中的仪器设备、实验方案、人员配备、资金以及工作流程。本文展示的是MARG 2005年的调查结果;在可能的情况下,会讨论该领域的趋势,并与之前调查收集的数据进行比较。
