MDACC Population Genomics Core (PGC) Facility

Overview of Services

The overall aims of the PGC facility are to provide:

Flexible, high quality, and high-throughput Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) genotyping and other omic microarray services including gene expression and methylation profiling using Illumina Beadchips and Taqman assays.

2. Blood DNA specimens banked under specific MD Anderson protocols.

Instructions for MDACC PGC Facility Users:

-To schedule time for imaging on the Illumina iScan please visit the "Schedule Equipment" tab.

-To request other services from the PGC facility, please visit the "Request Services" tab and initiate the service of interest.

Please note: You are invited to view basic pricing under Service List or under Request Services, however all finalized pricing is subject to facility approval.
