New Sample Submission Protocol Instituted

The DNA Tech Core is improving our ability to track samples electronically and we need your help. Submission sheets have been revised and are now specific to the sequencing platform – MiSeq, HiSeq, or PacBio.

Oct 20-22, 2014 – Next Gen Sequencing Technology and Sequencing Library Prep Workshop: RNA-seq

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the way that we address complex biological questions. As sequencing output rapidly increases and experimental scales get bigger, library preparation becomes one of the major bottlenecks for NGS. This course provides a comprehensive hands-on training on how to prepare high quality libraries for Illumina HiSeq2500 and MiSeq sequencing platforms. Participants are encouraged to bring their own total RNA template and, by the end of the course, will have a library ready for NGS sequencing.

PacBio Office Hours at the DNA Tech Core - every third Tuesday

Pacific Biosciences Field Applications Scientist Nicole Rapicavoli will be answering questions and assisting with the design of experiments every third Tuesday of the month, starting August 19th from 1 to 4 pm.  Please stop by at the DNA Technologies Core (room 1410, Genome Center - GBSF). Recent advances in PacBio SMRT sequencing (e.g. read length over 20 kb) and in bioinformatics have opened up entirely new alleys for genomic and expression analyses (e.g.

New Home!

The DNA Technologies and Expression Analysis Cores are now located in 1410 GBSF, the first floor of the Genome Center, with all our equipment in a single location.
