16. Core Policies Investigator has to provide chips and samples to the core (We need at least 2µg total RNA in 4µl volume, 250ng genomic DNA) Investigator has to provide chips and samples to the core (We need at least 2µg total RNA in 4µl volume, 250ng genomic DNA) Submitted RNA/DNA samples should be of good quality Submitted RNA/DNA samples should be of good quality Description of project / sample information Description of project / sample information It is advisable to have an n of 5-6 for each group to have a good statistical power for analysis It is advisable to have an n of 5-6 for each group to have a good statistical power for analysis If you have only one or 2 samples per group, the core wont be responsible for data quality If you have only one or 2 samples per group, the core wont be responsible for data quality Turn around time is 2 weeks since the receipt of samples Turn around time is 2 weeks since the receipt of samples You will be notified by email the status of your project and upon completion will send you QC data You will be notified by email the status of your project and upon completion will send you QC data If a problem arises with the analysis of one or more of your specimens, you will be contacted immediately If a problem arises with the analysis of one or more of your specimens, you will be contacted immediately
