BioMedical Genomics Center: Advancing genomics research, education, & outreach From its inception in the spring of 2000, the BioMedical Genomics Center at the University of Minnesota has been advancing genomics and proteomics research as it applies to human and animal health. The BMGC continues to maintain, upgrade, and acquire state-of-the-art instrumentation for genomics and proteomics-focused research. The BMGC is a leader in the development of genomics-related education and outreach through specialized conferences, seminars, and workshops. Through these efforts, the BMGC has helped establish entrepreneurial pathways linking genomics and proteomics discoveries to the founding of knowledge-based companies in the state of Minnesota. ___________________________ | | New Services at BMGC! There are several new services that are now available or will soon be offered at the BMGC. Few of these are, Titanium Chemistry: 454 Pyrosequencing BMGC is now offering next-generation sequencing using Titanium (Ti) chemistry with throughputs in the range of 400 million bases per run and an average read length of 400 bases.

Genome-wide Expression Analysis BMGC will soon be offering human and mouse genome-wide array expression analysis using the Illumina Platform. DASL expression assay and Golden Gate genotyping assay will also be offered as part of the service. Please contact Archana Deshpande at 612-624-3177 for more information. Quantitative RT PCR (Q-RT-PCR) For small scale projects, BMGC will be providing real-time PCR gene expression analysis using the Universal Probe Library and the ABI 7900HT real time PCR instrument. Please contact Trianna Full prior to starting your project at 612-625-7736 for details. **************************** |
