Genome Technology Core
The Genome Technology Core, a fee-for-service facility, provides both expertise and equipment for systems biology. The core has significant resources in next generation sequencing.
We offer Next-Generation sequencing on the Illumina platform. We have short read (AVITI, NovaSeq 6000 system and Miseq i100 plus) and long read (Nanopore) in-house. We work with partner cores for sequencing on PacBio and NovaSeq X.
We offer several NGS library preparation services - 96-well plate based and standard/manual - for a variety of starting materials (Cells, DNA and RNA based).
We currently offer two types of single-cell sequencing: FLASH-Seq (96 well plate based), and 10X Genomics.
The GTC offers RNA and DNA quality assessment service using BioAnalyzer and Fragment Analyzer.
The GTC features the QuantStudio 6 Real-Time PCR system from Applied Biosystems for quantitative PCR. This highly flexible system supports both 96 and 384 well plate formats for both Taqman and SYBR green applications.
