Notice Title
NCA30946 Micro-array based genotyping, DecodeMe, IGMM
Notice Description
Micro-array based genotyping for our UKRI-funded BLOOM study
Procurement Information
To ensure its success, it is essential that the DecodeME project undertakes genotyping of the 20,000 ME/CFS cohort using the Affymetrix Axiom(r) array, and this is only possible via ThermoFisher who is Affymetrix's parent company. The reason is that the project is only well-powered if - for its UK gender-, age- and ancestry-matched control samples - it takes advantage of the 500,000-strong UK Biobank cohort. Specifically, the project needs the genotypes of its cases (people with ME/CFS) to have been acquired using the exact same array as the controls (UK Biobank) and these were acquired using exactly this technology, i.e. the Affymetrix Axiom(r) array. Otherwise - if a different array is used - there is potential that technical errors would introduce spurious findings which might lead us to arrive at false scientific conclusions.
