Welcome!
ALERT
As of November 3rd the Microarray services of our site are live and available for request!
The mission of the Sequencing and Microarray Facility is to support genomics research at MDACC by providing investigators with access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and a high level of technical expertise in a centralized facility, thereby minimizing the duplication of expensive equipment, maintaining technical excellence and enhancing research collaborations. The facility’s primary focus is sequencing and microarray technologies.
Sequencing Services
Next Generation Sequencing
Sanger DNA Sequencing
Gene Resequencing
Microarray Services
The ATGC's microarray service offers a comprehensive set of integrated gene expression, genotyping/cytogenetics and methylation services on Affymetrix and Illumina platforms that facilitate studying the role of genomic alterations and transcriptional regulation of genes on human, mouse, rat and other species.
Single Cell Analysis
The Fluidigm C1™ Single-Cell Auto Prep system employs microfluidic technology to isolate, process and prepare individual cells for downstream analysis. The C1 system isolates single cells into individual reaction chambers in Fluidigm's integrated fluidic circuit (IFC).
EdgeSeq
Other SMF Services
Sample Quality Check (DNA and RNA)
