The three day course contained both theory and hands-on practice in cDNA/oligo microarray analysis and real-time PCR (qPCR) for students and researchers, who liked to learn more about these techniques and wanted to use it in their research. The course started at a low level, so also persons with little knowledge of molecular biology could join the course. After this course the participants understood the important aspects of microarray analysis, and were able to develop and perform their own experiments, or support coworkers who were performing these analyses.
