Genomics (including Transcriptomics)

As part of its mission as a research institute, the IGBB conducts high-throughput genomics & transcriptomics research. In addition, the IGBB performs a number of services for MS State principal investigators, IGBB collaborators, and external scientists. Such research can be performed through a Proposal Partnership, a Research Agreement, or the IGBB Service Center.

The IGBB's genomics staff routinely performs...

• RNA/DNA isolation
• Nucleic acid quantification & quality control
• Illumina genomic DNA & cDNA library preparation
• Illumina sequencing
• Sanger (capillary) sequencing
• Pacific Biosciences sequencing
• Oxford Nanopore sequencing
• Real-time PCR & quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR)
• Molecular cloning

Sequencing platforms currently being utilized by the IGBB include Illumina (MiSeq, HiSeq2000, HiSeq4000, & NovaSeq), Pacific Biosciences (RSII & Sequel), and Oxford Nanopore (MinION & GridIONx5).

See Biocomputing & Bioinformatics for additional information on sequence analysis.

To discuss the possibility of having the IGBB conduct genomics/transcriptomics research in collaboration with you, please submit a ticket through the MyIGBB HelpDesk.  An IGBB genomics consultant will respond to your query as quickly as possible (usually within 24 hours).

A listing of IGBB Standard Services and their prices -- including information and prices for Training and Self-Service Equipment Usage -- is available in the Standard Services Catalog in MyIGBB and in PDF form via the link below.
