Genomics Core Facility

Overview

The Genomics Core serve scientists at the Foundation for their genomics research needs, including large and small scale DNA sequencing, Affymetrix platform microarray analysis, real time RT-PCR, marker analysis and oligo ordering. The mission of the core is to generate high quality genomics data with minimum cost and turn around time.
