Molecular Genetics/Proteomics

The overall objective of the Molecular Genetics/Proteomics Core is to provide all investigators with basic and advanced molecular biology, molecular genetics, and genetic counseling tools to strengthen clinical research. The Core offers a range of mass spectrometry services including:
  • Experimental design and implementation (selection of technique)
  • Method development (extraction, separation, detection, quantification)
  • Method validation and quality control
  • Synthesis of stable isotopes
  • Sample processing
  • Data collection and interpretation
The Core’s services also include
  • Automated sequencing
  • SNP discovery
  • SNP genotyping
  • Expression profiling using microarrays
    • Assistance with experimental design and implementation
    • Processing of Affymetrix GeneChips
    • Interpretation of data, and verification/validation
    • Data dissemination
  • Genetic counseling support
    • Study design and implementation
    • IRB/GAC and consent form assistance for genetics studies
    • Patient confidentiality consultation
  • Sample storage and referral
  • High-throughput proteomic profiling methodologies
  • DNA Sequence And Mutation Analyses
    • Molecular diagnosis, mutation detection
    • SNP association studies
    • Automated sequence analysis
    • DHPLC testing for localization of changes and genotyping
    • TTGE mutation detection system
    • TGCE mutation Reveal system
  • mRNA Quantitative Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction
    (RT-PCR) and PC R
  • LiCor IR2 quantification
  • TaqMan quantification
  • Laser capture microdissection (Arcturus, Leica)
