NIA ANNOUNCES NEW DNA MICROARRAY FACILITY FOR AGING RESEARCH RELEASE DATE: August 14, 2003 NOTICE: NOT-AG-03-004 National Institute on Aging (NIA) (http://www.nia.nih.gov/) The National Institute on Aging (NIA) announces the establishment of the NIA DNA Microarray Facility, which will provide filter arrays of the 17K mouse cDNA clone set developed at the NIA Intramural Research Program Laboratory of Genetics, as described in Tanaka et al. (2000) Genome-wide expression profiling of mid-gestation placenta and embryo using 15k mouse developmental cDNA microarray. PNAS 97:9127-9132. The clones were derived from early embryonic cDNA libraries and a description of the clone set has been published [Kargul et al. (2001) Verification and initial annotation of the NIA mouse 15K cDNA clone set. Nature Genetics 28:17-18]. Information on the 15K clone set, including gene ID's, is also available from the Laboratory of Genetics website (http://lgsun.grc.nia.nih.gov/cDNA/cDNA.html). The arrays, a set of two filters per clone set, also include about 2,000 additional clones non- overlapping with the original 15K clone set, for a total of 17K clones per array. The NIA arrays will be made available to the research community at low cost to promote and facilitate research on gene expression patterns in the mouse. NIA microarrays are available to all investigators, although NIA grantees will be given priority. Information about the NIA DNA Microarray Facility, NIA policy for use of the arrays, ordering information, and protocols for using the arrays are posted at http://www.daf.jhmi.edu/microarray/index.htm. INQUIRIES: Inquiries about ordering arrays may be directed to: Nancy L. Nadon, Ph.D. Head, Office of Biological Resources and Resource Development National Institute on Aging 7201 Wisconsin Ave., GW 2C231 Bethesda MD 20892 Telephone: 301-402-7744 Fax: (301) 402-0010 Email: nadonn@nia.nih.gov
