EMERALD – Enhancing Data Quality

On behalf of the EMERALD consortium, we would like to invite you to participate at a thematic workshop at the 5th annual Advances in Microarray Technology conference which will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 18th, 2009.
The focus of the workshop is to discuss and illustrate the importance of (microarray) data quality. Presentations will highlight efforts on the implementation of quality metrics and standards to new high throughput array technologies.
