The CDMC is a microarray facility for Canadian and international academic scientists working with Drosophila. There are two main objectives of the CDMC:

· To produce and provide Drosophila DNA microarrays on glass slides.

· To provide a microarray experiment service facility where the scientist provides samples of RNA (or DNA), and the CDMC performs the labelling, hybridization and scanning.

 

 In addition, we are committed to:

 

·  Providing information and protocols for the use of the Drosophila microarrays.

·  Supplying individual EST clones used to make the array for a nominal cost.

·  Supporting the creation and use of a Drosophila microarray experiment database and analysis software.
