MAQC Guidance Document and SOPs
The purpose of the MAQC project is to provide quality control tools to the microarray community in order to avoid procedural failures and to develop guidelines for microarray data analysis by providing the public with large reference datasets along with readily accessible reference RNA samples.
Please address questions and suggestions about the MicroArray Quality Control project to the MAQC Coordinator, Dr. Leming Shi at Leming.Shi@fda.hhs.gov or Dr. Weida Tong at Weida.Tong@fda.hhs.gov or Reagan Kelly at Reagan.Kelly@fda.hhs.gov.
