Affymetrix GeneChip® Consortia Program
In 2004, Affymetrix introduced the GeneChip® Consortia Program. It has already shown great success in helping to facilitate community interactions and standardize array data among community researchers. Designs for the Consortia program are selected based on community support for creating a GeneChip array, availability of sequence information, and market demand for the finished array. Within the Consortia Program, Affymetrix subsidizes design fees and assists the research community in designing arrays which are then made available for purchase. In 2008, Affymetrix plans to launch several new designs through the Consortia Program.
For more information or designs to be considered in the Consortia Program, please contact Affymetrix (1-888-DNA-CHIP or e-mail support@affymetrix.com)
