* Prices shown are for UNM users and do not include charges for Affymetrix GeneChips. Contact the facility for GeneChip or external user pricing information.
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.
Data analysis, especially for complicated experiments or requiring customized procedures, can be time consuming and expensive. In general, users should plan to pay as much for data analysis as for generating the data.
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.
