 Genomics and Sequencing Core

The Genomics and Sequencing Core (GSC) is as a fee-for-service, one-stop core facility to provide genomics- and epigentics-related services to researchers at the University of Cincinnati and its affiliates. Using cutting-edge technologies, GSC offers a wide range of whole-genomics and targeted services for multidimensional integrated analysis. It also provide services to other academic institions and non-profit research organizations on contract bases.

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Services :

With the purchase of Illumina HiSeq System in 2011, GSMC is now capable of leveraging massively parallel sequencing technology for groundbreaking studies in DNA sequencing, gene regulation, transcriptome and small RNA discovery analysis, exome capture and SNP discovery, DNA-protein interaction and sequencing-based methylation analysis.  Click here for details on HiSeq 1000 system.

Next-generation sequencing services

We offer high quality, cost-effective NGS services on Illumina HiSeq System. Services include RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, DNA methylation-Seq, whole-exome/predefined/custom sequence capture and sequencing etc

Microarray services

We offers 5 platforms (Illumina, Affymetrix, Agilent, NimbleGen, Exiqon) for multiple applications (transcriptomics, GWAS and custom SNP/mutation analysis, DNA methylation)

Sequenom MassArray services

Mass spec based analysis for mutations/SNPs and DNA methylation (predefined/custum panels)

ABI TLDA services

Real-time PCR analysis of predefined/custom panels in 384 well format for gene expression and SNPs

RNA/DNA extraction and other services

We offer DNA/RNA extraction from a variety of cells and tissues (fresh, frozen, FFPE, LCM sections), DNA/RNA quality check (Agilent BioAnalyzer), DNA/chromatin fragmentation (using Covaris S2)

 

Bioinformatics Analysis:

  • GSMC is supported by The Laboratory for Statistical Genomics and Systems Biology which is directed by Dr. Mario Medvedovic.

  • The GSMC and the bioinformatics cores are integrated to provide extensive informatic services, starting with initiation of experiments, providing optimal experimental design, conducting whole- sequencing and microarray analysis, and  providing standard and customized bioinformatic analysis packages for successful completion and publication of data.
