A framework for the use of genomics data at the EPA

Article Abstract:

The challenges as well as the opportunities emanating from the advent of genomics and the increasing genomics-related data has led the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create a coordinated Computational Toxicology Program to better address the use of genomics information. In its 'Interim Guidance for Microarray-Based Assays' the EPA plans to provide a framework that focuses on specific genomics technology including DNA microarrays.
