Description:
Objective:The principal objective of the Molecular Biomarkers Core is to identify patterns of altered gene expression that form a significant association with autism in human populations, or which are coupled to specific environmental factors in animal models. During this period the core has established a microarray facility that utilizes Affymetrix GeneChip technology. An essential component of the Core’s current efforts are to develop methods of analysis for microarray data in an effort to both better define, and reduce, the errors associated with the interpretation of microarray results (Geller et al 2002, in preparation).
