We strongly recommend that all users contact the KUGR facility staff before beginning their genomics experiments. We can provide information about the number of replicates that are required, how the DNA or RNA samples should be prepared and what the total cost is likely to be. A few minutes of discussion may save weeks and many dollars later.
The KUGR facility is staffed by expert molecular biologists and can perform customized services to suit your needs. Please contact the facility for information or to find out how we can assist your research.
IMPORTANT: The KUGR facility does not accept samples with any patient identifier information. All clinical or patient samples must be completely de-identified and/or coded before being submitted for analysis.
