Facility Details

This facility is centrally located on the third floor of the Health Science Research Facility and includes infrastructure that provides comprehensive support for the design, execution, and analysis of experiments involving Next Generation Sequencing through access and use of the Illumina HiSeq 1500 sequencer. All next generation sequencing projects are reviewed using an integrated approach to experimental design, workflow, and sample collection in collaboration with the UVM bioinformatics core facilities to ensure high quality results. The facility is directed by Julie Dragon and Scott Tighe, and performs a wide range of analysis including target preparation for RNAseq, Exome Seq, ChIP seq, Methyl Seq, whole genome sequencing, and small RNA sequencing.The core is heavily involved in all aspects of Nanopore sequencing
