The Adelaide Microarray Centre is a core facility for microarray services located within the IMVS Building on Frome Road. The centre was jointly established by University of Adelaide and the Hanson Institute in 2001 and has the instrumentation for performing Affymetrix, Agilent and spotted microarray experiments.

The centre was the first in Australia to offer a service for microRNA profiling using microarrays and has a strong reputation for reliability, high quality, cost-effectiveness and customer loyalty.

The following systems are currently available at the Adelaide Microarray Centre:

• Affymetrix Arrays. The centre has the latest Affymetrix processing and scanning hardware enabling all current Affymetrix array types to be run. The Affymetrix system is currently operated as fee-for-service only.
• MicroRNA Services. The Adelaide Microarray Centre was the first microarray facility in Australia to offer a complete service for microRNA profiling using microarrays. The 2 alternatives for array based miRNA profiling are from Exiqon or Affymetrix.
• Bioanalyzer. The Agilent Bioanalyzer enables RNA quality to be assessed prior to running microarrays or other assays. Sample profiles are analysed by the software to generate an RNA Integrity Score (RIN). Up to 12 samples can be run on a single RNA Nanochip. Each sample submitted for analysis should be in 3 uL of DEPC treated water and be between 50 and 500 ng / uL concentration.
• Spotted Arrays. Spotted microarrays are a cost effective alternative to those manufactured commercially. The following libraries are currently printed by the facility:
  • microRNA Exiqon v11 1700 probe (human, mouse, rat) oligo
  • Zebrafish 16000 probe Compugen oligo
  • Coral (A.millepora) 17000 probe cDNA
    Quality control procedures are carried out on every new print of microarray slides to guarantee the consistency of printing and hybridisation.

Protocols

Protocols are available for extracting total RNA for both spotted and Affymetrix arrays. The Centre has adopted robust protocols that we recommend to be used with our spotted microarray slides.

Analysis of Microarray Data

A microarray experiment consists of a number of distinct stages that need careful planning. These include the experimental design, the choice of array platform, the sources of the RNA and the number and type of replications to be considered.

The method of extracting and normalising raw data from microarray images will reflect the quality of the acquired data. Foreground and background fluorescent intensities must be extracted from the images, the intensity ratios normalised within and between slides and adjustments made for any systemic variations.

Processed intensity values are analysed using rigorous statistical methods. Complex microarray experiments can require custom statistical analysis methods to select for differentially expressed genes and having the assistance of a competent Biostatistician can be of great benefit in these situations.

A single, well designed microarray experiment will generate large amounts of biological data. Careful experimental design, rigorous statistical analysis and reliable bioinformatics resources are essential for realising the huge potential of microarrays.

The Adelaide Microarray Centre currently uses Partek Genomics Suite for the analysis of microarray data.

eResearch SA is a collaborative joint venture between the University of Adelaide, Flinders University, and the University of South Australia. Its office is located on level 1 of the Physic Building in the University of Adelaide's North Tce campus.

eResearch SA's mission is to enable discovery, innovation and collaboration by providing eResearch facilities, services, training and expertise.

'eResearch' is a broad term used to describe a set of activities that harness the power of advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) for research.

Characterised by collaboration and facilitated by fast, high capacity networks, the range of eResearch activities is diverse and multi-disciplinary.

eResearch methodologies and capabilities can be applied in all research disciplines, not just those with a traditional affiliation with high-performance computing.

eResearch has also enabled the emergence of entirely new fields of research using new techniques for data mining and analysis, advanced computational algorithms, and resource sharing networks.

eResearch encompasses four core areas:

• Research collaboration
  eResearch facilitates inter-disciplinary, inter-institutional and international research collaboration using distributed computing technologies. Shared access to web collaboration tools and video conferencing facilities can overcome the tyranny of distance and support distributed research across the country and across the globe.
  With improved access to knowledge and information, researchers can perform their research more creatively, efficiently and collaboratively across long distances and disseminate their research outcomes more widely.
• Data management and sharing
  eResearch facilitates the storage and cataloguing of data sets both large and small and provides researchers and research insitutions with continuity of access to data, as well as the ability to make data available in controlled ways for reuse by other researchers.
• High-performance computing
  High-performance computing systems deliver enhanced computing power and memory for analysis of large data sets, modelling of complex systems, searching large databases, and solving large and challenging problems.
  From modelling climate change to understanding social networks and multifactorial diseases, advances in high-performance computing enable researchers to accomplish tasks that were previously unachievable.
  By sharing infrastructure that is otherwise unaffordable for individual research groups or institutions, more researchers have access to advanced data processing and modelling techniques.
• Visualisation and haptics
  Visualisation technologies, including stereoscopic imaging techniques, enable researchers to intuitively understand complex data sets and abstract concepts. Visualisation of data sets and objects that are not ordinarily visible can help researchers to more easily detect and understand complex patterns of interaction in their data, conduct research in entirely new ways, and bring theoretical concepts to life.
  Haptics technologies introduce the sense of virtual 'touch' to a diverse range of research disciplines. From surgical trainees to molecular scientists to digital artists, researchers from across the board are finding new applications for haptics technology.
  As an enabler of innovations and new discoveries, eResearch has the potential to boost research effectiveness across all disciplines through increased interactivity between researchers and enhanced access to research outputs.
