Affymetrix Integrated Genomics Seminar Series
June 19th 2008
Integrating genomic data has proven to be an effective means of achieving focused discovery and faster validation in genomic studies. Affymetrix’ integrated solutions provide powerful tools for unlocking the human genome, by allowing you to study copy number, allele-specific copy number, loss of heterozygosity, gene expression, exon expression and alternative splicing data using a single sample and only two arrays—the Exon 1.0 ST Array and the SNP Array 6.0.
Affymetrix is pleased to announce the first Integrated Genomics Seminar Series at Duke University. This series will feature presentations from scientists using Affymetrix technologies.
