DNA Technologies Core Facility
The mission of the DNA Technologies Core at the UC Davis Genome Center is to provide DNA analytical services to campus and other researchers. We are currently focused on genotyping and sequencing, using mainly Illumina and PacBio platforms. Our goal is to enable access to high throughput, genome-wide analyses at economical recharge rates, as a functional extension of your laboratory. The services offered by the Genome Center complement other UC Davis facilities in order to provide access to numerous technologies for molecular marker analysis.
