Mission Statement

The Population Center Gene Array Facility makes gene array technology and analysis available to investigators supported by:
  • The Specialized Cooperative Centers Program in Reproductive and Infertility Research
  • The National Cooperative Program for Infertility Research
  • Cooperative Reproductive Science Research Center at Minority Institution awards
  • The Contraceptive Development Center

Our goal is to facilitate the analysis of hormonal and developmental regulation of gene expression in tissues relevant to reproductive biology.

Facility Overview

The SCCPIR Microarray Core Facility at the University of Washington was created to provide researchers in the Reproduction and Contraception Centers free access to microarray technology. We are a small academic facility, and as such we hope to work in close consultation with researchers using the facility. We are continually in the process of refining our protocols and services in an effort to best meet the needs of the facility users. We have observed over the past several years that one of the most powerful uses of our microarray core facility is for long-term studies in which we first generate a preliminary data set based upon the pre-determined experimental design and then, based on those first results, are able to modify the experimental design to further refine and address the experimental question. The ability to perform large numbers of arrays with significant biological and technical replication at minimal cost is one of the most valuable features of our facility.

We currently offer 3 gene chips

  1. Mouse 70mer oligo library generated by the Programs for Genomic Applications (PGA) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)
  2. Human “HEEBO” 70mer oligo library made by Invitrogen
  3. microRNA library from Ambion
