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.

Major changes are in store with the arrival of our new Core Director - Dr. Ryan Kim - and new Staff Research Associate - Siranoosh Ashtari. We are also offering new sequencing services with the addition of the PacBio RS System, the Illumina MiSeq and HiSeq 2000, and the Apollo324 library preparation robot. For our next library workshop, please go to http://courses.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/.
The DNA Technologies core maintains an email list to notify people of facility updates, offers, seminars, and workshops. If you'd like to be included on this list please contact Ryan Kim at rwkim@ucdavis.edu.
DNA Sequencing
The DNA Technologies Core does not offer Sanger dideoxy DNA Sequencing, but these services are available on campus. Visit these sites for more information:
