Core Personnel
Core Director: Louis Kunkel, PhD
Core Assistant Director: Catherine Brownstein, PhD

The overall objective of the Molecular Genetics Core is to provide a central location where IDDRC investigators can have access to high quality, low cost genomic technology services and expertise in a timely, affordable manner. These services can be broken down into six main functional components: 1) Sequencing (Next generation and Sanger); 2) High-Throughput SNP Genotyping, 3) qPCR, and digital detection PCR (ddPCR); 4) Microarray Analysis; and 5) Sample and Data Management and Analysis, and 6) Microsatellite Genotyping

.

Services Provided Include the Following:

• Next-Gen Sequencing
• DNA Sequencing
• High-Throughput SNP, qPCR, and ddPCR
• Microarray Analysis
• Microsatellite Genotyping
• Genomic Data Management

Major instrumentation in the Molecular Genetics Core includes:

• Two Applied Biosystems 3730 DNA Analyzer
• Hamilton Microlab STARPlus Automated Workstation. 
• Affymetrix Gene Chip Scanner 3000 with Autoloader
• Qiagen Autopure System
• Fluidigm Biomark System
• Bio-Rad ddPCR QX200
• Agilent Bioanalyzer
• Qiagen Qiacube
• Illumina Beadstation 500GX Genetic Analysis System
