The Biomedical Genomics Core aims to provide our clients with the complete genomics analysis solution, from the initial steps of experimental design to the final steps of results interpretation and publication. Our services include experimental design, quality control of starting material (DNA or RNA), sample labeling, hybridization, image acquisition, data analysis and interpretation. The facility is planning on introducing new technologies in the near future, including the ability to offer our clients Agilent Technologies DNA microarrays (a cost effective and sensitive alternative to the Affymetrix platform, enabling simple custom array design), and we are currently exploring options for the introduction of a Next Generation Sequencing platform.

Currently our services include:

  • Expression Analysis using the wide selection of GeneChip® expression Arrays enabling researchers to simultaneously monitor genome-wide expression profiles, including the gene, exon, genome, promoter and tiling arrays.

  • Gene Regulation Analysis using the High density GeneChip® Tiling Arrays, offer a tool to explore genome functions including mapping transcription factor binding regions and promoter region analysis (ChIP-on-Chip), DNA Methylation and Origins of Replication studies.

  • Whole Genome Analysis using the GeneChip® Mapping Arrays enable scientists to conduct large-scale linkage analysis, association, and copy number studies. The new Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 features 1.8 million genetic markers for the detection of both single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variants (CNVs).
