Genomics Services & Training

These facilities function to increase the competitiveness of genomics research at the Oklahoma State University by providing training with access to genome sequencing equipment and bioinformatics software.


GENOMICS CORE RESOURCE FACILITY

Overall Capabilities

The facility provides service and training for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics at all levels. Training is provided through Workshops, Genomics/Informatics curricula, and The Carpentries (based at the OSU Library). The facility also provides consultation for experimental design, projects, and proposal development. A full-time PhD-level specialist is employed to assist researchers.
