Description:

The Translational Genomics Lab (TGL) is a high-throughput core facility within Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center’s robust research pipeline that performs sample processing for the molecular, pathologic, and genomic characterization of patient-derived specimens using high-end instrumentation and state-of-the-art methods. Service offerings include nucleic acid extraction, gene expression profiling, spatial genomics, next-generation sequencing library preparation, and high-throughput sequencing. Protocols leverage the reproducibility and reliability of automated instrumentation to minimize batch effects and processing errors (e.g. sample swaps). These workflows have been continuously optimized over the last decade, with a sample-to-answer historic success rate of ~90% for the >15,000 FFPE samples TGL has processed.
