This facility has not published any Products. Please check back.

The following Products and Services are available within our facility:

Capillary Electrophoresis

Ready to Run Plate (Sequencing)

Ready to Run Plate (Sequencing)

Customers who want to do the cycle sequencing themselves can submit reactions in 96-well plates. Reactions should be submitted wet in high quality molecular grade water or dry (to be rehydrated at GF). The reactions have to be in semi-skirted plates compatible with the 3730xl.

Ready to Run Tubes (Sequencing)

Ready to Run Tubes (Sequencing)

Customers who want to do the cycle sequencing themselves can submit reactions in tubes. Reactions should be submitted wet in high quality molecular grade water or dry (to be rehydrated at GF).

Sanger Plate DNA Sequencing

Sanger Plate DNA Sequencing

Customer submits plates of samples for capillary (Sanger) DNA sequencing. Full reactions will be built using the BigDye Terminator v3 cycle sequencing kit. No more than 2 primers per plate. Please contact us if you need to use more than 2 primers as extra fees may apply. Please normalize your DNA template concentration before submission.

Sanger Single-Tube DNA Sequencing

Sanger Single-Tube DNA Sequencing

Customer submits individual DNA sample for capillary (Sanger) DNA sequencing. Full reactions will be built using the BigDye Terminator v3 cycle sequencing kit. For a fastest turnaround time, please bring your single-tube sequencing samples to GF before 3 pm as we start processing them for sequencing starting at 3 pm daily.

Ready to Run Plate (Genotyping)

Ready to Run Plate (Genotyping)

For customers that want to do fragment analysis on the Applied Biosystems 3730xl DNA Analyzer. Reactions & fluorescent DNA ladder need to be submitted in deionized formamide in semi-skirted plates compatible with the 3730xl. GF sells ROX dye-labeled size standards compatible with the Ready-to-run genotyping service. Only the following fluorescent chemistry can be submitted to GF: 4-color [(FAM, HEX, NED, ROX), (FAM, JOE, NED, ROX), (FAM, VIC, NED, ROX)] and 5-color [FAM, VIC, NED, PET, LIZ].

NextGen Sequencing

Illumina Compatible Library Prep Only

Illumina Compatible Library Prep Only

Library preparation only with no sequencing. Prepared library will be returned to researcher either pooled or individually. If library prep and sequencing are needed, please choose one of the other three options below.

Illumina HiSeq

Illumina HiSeq

Library preparation and sequencing on Illumina HiSeq sequencer. This order form can also be used to request sequencing of ready-to-run libraries on the HiSeq.

Illumina MiSeq

Illumina MiSeq

Library preparation and sequencing on Illumina MiSeq sequencer. This order form can also be used to request sequencing of ready-to-run libraries on the MiSeq.

Illumina NextSeq

Illumina NextSeq

Library preparation and sequencing on Illumina NextSeq sequencer. This order form can also be used to request sequencing of ready-to-run libraries on the NextSeq.

BioNano Whole Genome Mapping

BioNano

BioNano

BioNano's unique and powerful Whole Genome Mapping technology rapidly generates high-resolution, ordered, whole genome restriction maps from ultra long single DNA molecules. Whole Genome Maps are generated de novo, independent of sequence information, and do not require amplification or PCR steps. The result is an easy-to-interpret view of the genome that reveals genome architecture in a single image. Visit GF website for details

HMW DNA Extraction for BioNano

HMW DNA Extraction for BioNano

High molecular weight (HMW) DNA is necessary before moving on to the BioNano service. GF can extract HMW from a variety of samples (plants, cell lines,...). Contact us at GF@uga.edu to discuss your project.

Nucleic Acid Quality Assessment

Agilent Bioanalyzer Run Request

Agilent Bioanalyzer Run Request

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is a microfluidics-based platform used at GF for sizing, quantification and quality control of RNA molecules.

Frament Analyzer

Frament Analyzer

The Fragment Analyzer" Automated CE System is a fluorescence-based capillary electrophoresis instrument for both sizing and quantifying DNA.

Miscellaneous Items

Bioinformation Request

Bioinformation Request

Use this form to request bio-informatics service. Please explain in your needs and our bio-informatics expert will contact you to discuss your project.

Covaris

Covaris

The Covaris instrument is used for DNA shearing applications such as the production of DNA libraries for next-generation sequencing (454, Illumina, or SOLiD).

DNA Purification

DNA Purification

DNA purification can be performed on samples collected with FTA Elute Cards, Oragene•DISCOVER/saliva kits or Performagene LIVESTOCK collection kits.
