Genomics

Expertise

DNA/RNA sequencing, DNA fragment analysis (microsatellites and SNP), gene expression, epigenetic methylation, next-generation sequencing, ChIPseq, microarray

Description

The genomics platform contains equipment for genetic analyses such as an ABI genetic analyser 3130xl used in DNA fragment analysis to genotype individuals. Both internal and external researchers use this equipment..

A PyroMark Q24 using pyrosequencing technology has been acquired more recently to enable real-time, sequence-based detection and quantification of sequence variants and epigenetic methylation.

Other available equipment within the platform: NanoDrop™ spectrophotometers, an Agilent Bioanalyzer and several qRT-PCR for gene expression analyses.
