Training in Gene Expression Profiling using RNA from Archival (Paraffin-embedded) Samples
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
With many emerging techniques today, it is important to understand how to use available archival samples without compromising on the final quality of data. The one-week training will introduce, to students as well as faculty and private industries, how to extract RNA, synthesize cDNA, do Real-Time PCR and, understand and interpret results from archival samples.
This training session will be ideal for anyone with some basic working knowledge of PCR and is interested in the practical aspect of applying the theory to archival samples especially for gene expression profiling. The training sessions will be conducted by scientists who have many years of experience in molecular techniques.
Since we are conducting this for the first time, a minimum number of participants would be needed to conduct the training. We would like to limit sample type to human and animal tissues but would encourage those working on plant tissues to still contact us.
