This is an on-going study and the Affymetrix arrays and assays are essential for the continuation of this project. The analysis will be performed at the NINDS Core Facility using the NINDS?s Government owned Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner and Affymetrix GeneChip Fluidic Station. These are the only known arrays and assays that are compatible with the existing Government owned Affymetrix equipment and will be used in continuation of ongoing experiments.
