Laboratory Operations

Overview

The Core Genotyping Facility (CGF) offers a wide variety of sample preparation and genotyping operations. All samples received must meet minimum requirements and are taken through the Sample Handling pipeline prior to completing any genotyping. The Sample Handling pipeline includes DNA quantification and genetic fingerprinting. Also offered are Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) assays, to get the most yield out of low quantity DNA samples.

Our genotyping products cover a wide-range of assay sizes. The CGF operates the Illumina® BeadLab system which supports Illumina assay technologies including the whole genome genotyping Infinium® assays, custom GoldenGate® OPA assays, and Custom Infinium® (iSelect™) assays. In addition, the CGF offers Affymetrix® GeneChip® arrays and uniplex TaqMan® genotyping.
