The Quantitative Genomics Core Laboratory provides high-throughput gene and transcript analysis using real-time quantitative PCR. Services include: high throughput qPCR analysis of gene or transcript levels in DNA or RNA samples; zygosity testing of transgenic animals and validation of microarray–based experimental results. Investigators provide RNA or DNA samples and have the choice of utilizing previously developed assays or having new assays designed and validated for transcripts or genes of interest.
