Co-Directors: Michael Griswold and Derek Pouchnik
Contact: Derek Pouchnik at 509-335-1174
Services and Staffing:
The Genomics Core will be established to allow individual
investigators
access to state of the art genomics micro-array technology equipment.
The
core laboratory will provide access to the both an Affymetrix
Micro-Array
apparatus and data analysis system, as well as a custom array
apparatus for
glass slide array of investigator initiated arrays. The Core
has the
bio-informatics support for the procedures performed and will
assist the
investigators in data analysis. Technical support is provided
to perform
the analysis on the Affymetrix chips and in the production of
the custom
arrays. The oversight for the Core will be provided by Michael
Griswold
who also directs the Molecular Biology Core Laboratory.
Resources:
The core laboratory has a considerable amount of major equipment
items not
possible to be present in individual investigator laboratories.
This
includes an Affymetrix micro-array chip hybridization and scanner
with
associated bio-informatics system. A Molecular Device Custom
Micro-Array
Apparatus is also available that utilizes a robotics system to
micro-array
chips on glass slides. Related bio-informatics software and related
equipment are also available to assist in data analysis. Technical
support
for performing the analysis are available to operate and facilitate
investigator initiated genome studies.
