Research Services
Members of the Sequencing and Discovery Genomics team consult with researchers to understand their unique needs, and provide expert guidance, tools, and assistance for project completion. They also participate in cutting-edge application and technology development, and provide education and training to researchers in multiple areas of genomics.
As Stowers was one of the first institutes in the Midwest region to offer Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) through Illumina platforms, the team has extensive experience with this technology. Rapid high-throughput, short-read sequencing is offered in-house using the Illumina NGS platforms. For projects requiring long-reads, outsourcing for PacBio sequencing is offered using trusted external partners. In addition to NGS, the team performs high-throughput plasmid preparation and Sanger sequencing.
Software and Computing
Sequencing and Discovery Genomics team works very closely with the institute's Computation Biology team for data analysis.
