In 2001 The Cancer Research Campaign established a Spotted
DNA Microarray Facility at the Institute of Cancer Research
in Sutton, Surrey. Following the CRC-ICRF merger the facility
has been renamed (The
Cancer Research UK DNA Microarray Facility). The facility
provides spotted DNA microarrays, associated protocols and
expertise to Cancer Research UK grantees. The Facility also
provides an informatics resource associated with the arrays
and the data obtained from them.

 |
The service offered to Cancer
Research UK grantees can be divided into three areas:
| Provision |
|
| Spotted DNA microarrays |
genome-wide, ontology specific and custom arrays |
| Access to microarray training & expertise |
protocols, training and supportprovided throughout the
lifetime of the grant |
| Centralised storage & analysis of experimental data |
access restricted to grantees onlypassword restricted
access to individual dataopen access to anonymised global
data set |
Current arrays
- Human cancer specific array
Quadruplicate spotting of 1,500 sequence re-verified genes implicated
in either the genesis or progression of cancer
- Human genome-wide array
Duplicate spotting of 6,000 genes distributed throughout the genome
Forthcoming arrays
- Human 15K array
15,000 genes distributed throughout the genome
Due end of 2002
- Human 30K array
30,000 genes distributed throughout the genome
Due beginning of 2003
