Genomics and Cell Biology Core
The overall goal of the Genomics & Cell Biology Coreis to facilitate the application of cutting-edge genomics, bioinformatics, cell biology, and immunology techniques to nutrition and metabolic research. Core services include
- Consultative services related to genomics, cell biology, and immunology research design.
- Provision of space, technical personnel, and specific training and supervision for utilizing specialized techniques and equipment used in cell biology, immunology, and genomics research, including “nanoString”-based transcriptional profiling, assistance in the development of high-content high-throughput assays using automated microscopic imaging, and fluorescent-activated cell sorting.
- A variety of genomics-related services related to next-generation sequencing,
- Bioinformatic analysis of various types of high-throughput data, including RNA-Seq, metagenomics, ChIP-Seq, proteomics, microarray data, as well as computational analysis of molecular pathways, networks and phenotypes.
