>I 27.-29. January 2004
>II 24.-26. February 2004
>
>This is a practical course in the use of cDNA microarray
>techniques. During this two-day intensive course, students learn to
>use human sequence DNA microarrays to study their RNA
>samples. The course covers labeling, hybridization, and analysis.
>Several lectures on different aspects of microarray technology are
>also given.
>
>Course instructors: Staff of the Finnish DNA Microarray Centre,
>Turku Centre for Biotechnology
>
>Participation: Enrollment fee is 250 €. Attendance is worth 1 study
>week.
>
>Applicants: The courses are open to researchers and to students
>enrolled in schools in the Finnish Graduate School Network in Life
>Sciences (Helsinki, Joensuu, Kuopio, Oulu, Tampere, Turku).
>
>To apply, please send a brief letter stating your affiliation and
>department, project description, and justification for taking the
>course. If you are a student, please indicate also your year of
>study. The applications can be also written in Finnish. Students
>should have a gel picture of both the control and the sample RNAs
>that they want to study. Both RNAs should be of high quality. The
>amount of the total RNA should be 20 micrograms for each
>specimen in a maximum volume of 10 microliters H2O. For the
>RNA isolation we use Trizol Reagent (Life Technologies, Gibco
>BRL) and Qiagen RNeasy Kit (Qiagen). If you do not have your
>own sample, please inform us, as we may be able to provide a
>sample for you.
