Services Provided:

The Molecular Biology Core provides DNA sequencing, oligonucleotide synthesis, and DNA microarray services to affiliated users.

DNA sequencing is carried out by fluorescent dye terminator thermal cycle reactions with product analysis on ABI 3700 capillary sequencers. The current cost per sequence reaction and analysis for BADERC-affiliated investigators is $5.

Oligonucleotide synthesis is carried out on a variety of instruments at user-specified scales from 1 umole to 30 nmole; the present cost per residue is $0.30 for BADERC affiliated investigators for the lowest scale reactions.
