Genomics Core Briefs:

Increase in Rates Sept 23, 2009 - As you are undoubtedly aware, the economy is poor. As a result, one of our funding institutions has had to eliminate support for the Genomics service. To compensate for this loss, we will be raising our rates 20% as of Oct 1, 2009. We regret this increase in costs and hope that funding will return once the economy recovers.

Micorarray-based RNAi analysis Jan 26, 2009 - The Genomics Shared Service now offers RNAi analysis through Affymetrix, Agilent, and Nimblegen microarrays. contact us for more information about the microarrays available and RNA isolation protocols.

Full service DNA Methylation analysis June 23, 2008 - The Genomics Shared Service now provides a complete service for analysis of DNA methylation. The service is based on the MeDIP approach to ChIP-chip. If you want to perform genome-wide DNA methylation analysis contact (our contact info. link is at the top of the page) us so we can discuss your project.

Data Analysis through Bioinformatics May 10, 2007 - The Bioinformatics Shared Service has formally taken over analysis of all microarray data. We will still meet with users to discuss experimental issues. If you want to contact Bioinformatics for analysis of your microarray data, email: bioinf@email.arizona.edu or call 621-2464.

New Affymetrix Arrays October 10, 2007 - We have sucessfully implemented the new Affy ST arrays for human, mouse, and rat. When purchased in packs of 10, these arrays can be run for $425 per sample. This is a 41% discount compared to running a 3-prime GeneChip!

Acknowledge the Core Feb 12, 2007 - please acknowledge the Genomics Core is papers using data generated by us, we use these acknowledgements to justify our funding which in turn lowers the price we have to charge for services. Sample acknowledgement: "Microarray data generated by the Genomics Core at the Arizona Cancer Center; supported by the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center, NIEHS grant ES06694, and the Arizona Cancer Center, NIH grant CA23074."
