Overview
The development of technologies for deep sequencing and other genomic analysis methods, (454 Life Sciences, Solexa and SNP analysis), have opened up a new era in genomics research. The Molecular Biology and Genetics Core facilitates the use of these new technologies by providing help and direction in the preparation of high quality oligonucleotide primers and TAQ Polymerase samples for sequencing and proteomic analysis.
