This Facility performs expert DNA sequencing and provides and maintains 4 Molecular Dynamics imaging instruments for use by investigators. Facility-recommended protocols for template preparation are also available.
Emphasis is on quick return of high-quality sequence data at low cost.
Sequences are provided via a dedicated web server on which each user has a secure page from which to retrieve sequence data. All four instruments come with ImageQuant analysis software, for which a site license has been purchased. This program can thus be installed on any local Macintosh computer. Files can be transported via the Ethernet or on Zip disks. After-hours access to the instruments is available via a digital lock, to which code numbers are provided.
