<p>This disclosure describes combinations of apparatus and methods to comprise a system for broad use and effective application of analytical genomic microarrays for screening and surveillance. The methodology abandons reliance on typical volumes of peripheral blood samples obtained by phlebotomy, in preference for protocols enabling collection, stabilization, archive, extraction and purification of small volumes as obtained from a finger prick. Recommended processing protocols from such starting material favor preparation of sufficient quantities of RNA or DNA of sufficient quality for subsequent steps of targeted amplification and fluorescent labeling. A strategy is offered for effective integration of capabilities for genotype and phenotype analysis on the same microarray layout. These gene expression re-sequencing arrays (GXR) are well suited for screening and surveillance applications.</p> |
