Sanger Sequencing
The OGI Genomics Core has three Applied Biosystems, Inc. Sanger sequencers at its disposal:
1) 3730xl DNA Analyzer
2) 3130xl DNA Analyzers (2x)
These instruments are configured/certified to perform the following analyses:
- Research-based Sanger sequencing
- Research-based fragment analysis
- Multiplex Ligation Probe-Dependent Amplification (MLPA) analysis
- CLIA-certified diagnostic Sanger sequencing variant confirmation analysis
Additional information on the DNA Sequencing Center for Vision Research (DSCVR), including instructions for preparing, purifying and submitting samples for analysis, can be found on the DSCVR web page
