GeoChips for Analysis of Microbial Functional Communities
Abstract: Functional gene arrays (FGA) are microarrays that contain probes for genes encoding proteins or enzymes involved in functions of interest and allow for the study of thousands of genes at one time. The most comprehensive FGA to date is the GeoChip, which contains $24,000 probes for$10,000 genes involved in the geochemical cycling of C, N, P, and S, as well as genes involved in metal resistance and reduction and contaminant degradation. This chapter details the methods necessary for GeoChip analysis. Methods covered include preparation of DNA (whole community genome amplification and labeling), array setup (prehybridization steps), hybridization (sample and hybridizationbuffers), and post hybridization steps (slide washing and array scanning).

Introduction
Microarrays are a powerful, high throughput tool that allows for the study of thousands of genes at one time. While microarrays were first designed to study individual organisms (Schena et al., 1995), their potential to study microorganisms in the environment was later proposed (Guschin et al., 1997)....
