Facility Details

The Western South Dakota DNA Core Facility (WestCore) was established in 2003 as part of the South Dakota Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (SD-BRIN). We complement the Proteomics and Genomics BRIN core facilities.

Our primary services include nucleic acid sequencing, genotyping, marker development and library construction. Priority is given to SD-BRIN/INBRE research, but services are also provided to non-BRIN/INBRE university researchers as well as government agencies and some private organizations.

Westcore is a fully staffed laboratory with automated DNA instrumentation, and has a federally approved quality management plan.
