The new PacBio Sequel chemistry (V3) enables High-Fidelity Long Reads: The chemistry enables significantly longer polymerase reads which can be used to sequence molecules of 10 kb and 15 kb length with 99.9% accuracy. The V2 reagents are discontinued.
Thanks to the new chemistry the PacBio technology is now optimal for the sequencing of even the longest amplicons. To enable multiplexed amplicon sequencing the DNA Tech Core is now offering
HOLIDAY HOURS: We will be closed on the university holidays December 24th, 25th and 31st as well as January 1st.
We expect difficulties with the receipt of shipments in the week between the holidays. Best arrange shipments to arrive by December 20th.
We finally have a new online equipment reservation system ready-to go! The new PPMS system will also be used by other Campus Cores in the near future.
Stratocore PPMS is now used to book and reserve the folllowing shared instruments: Bioanalyzer, Covaris and Bioruptor sonicators, BuePippin, PippinHT, Plate Reader, Fluidigm Access Array, Sciclone NGS liquid handling robot. The instruments are available weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm.

Please note that single-cell pilot and feasibility projects needs to be discussed with the participating cores before the application. Our single-cell expert Diana Burkart-Waco, PhD, ([email protected]) is available for pilot grant project related discussions. To include the other cores please contact Matt Settles ([email protected] ; Bioinformatics) and Bridget McLaughlin ([email protected]; Flow-Cytometry). &
Wednesday is RNA-QC day - starting in September
Assessing the integrity of RNA samples with the Bioanalyzer can be time consuming and expensive since each run takes an hour and only 12 RNA can samples can be run.
To make RNA QC more convenient and affordable we will be running one or more batches of RNA samples every Wednesday afternoon starting in September.
For UC Davis labs the cost per sample will be $5 (with a minimum of $10).
In order to generate usable data:
