The Functional Genomics Facility (FGF) provides resources for investigating gene functions with a focus on applying DNA/protein microarray technology.

As a service facility, the FGF provides expertise and equipment for all phases of array-based services, ranging from sample preparation through to data analysis and management for UC investigators as well as qualified external users. As a research facility, the FGF pursues various research and development projects, including a comprehensive microarray reproducibility study, critical evaluation of signal-dependent thresholds for significant changes, and optimization of protocols for Affymetrix genechip array hybridization. FGF also functions as an education facility.

The educational events include offering microarray workshop, data analysis training, lectures and seminars.
