welcome
We perform DNA sequencing & genomic analysis and RNA/DNA (oligonucleotide) synthesis on a fee-for-service basis. We are happy to consult on your sequence assembly and analysis or other data processing, informatics, and database needs as well.
DNA sequencing & fragment analysis is accomplished with our state-of-the-art, Applied Biosystems 3130xl, capillary fluorescence instrument. Several levels of service are available to match your needs and finances.
We provide oligo design assistance and trouble-shooting of applications using oligonucleotides. We act as a store front for several synthesis sources. By pooling our orders we can get the best prices and services. Batch orders of small scale oligo synthesis can be as low as 10¢ per base. Discounts on other products too. Check the Fees page for the new prices.
The Template Quality Challenge
As the saying goes, "GIGO". The reverse is also true, that is, the cleaner the template, the cleaner and longer the read.
The CE run giving the highest quality read, based on parameters indicating good template quality (signal strength, signal to noise, clear length read (Q > 20), etc.) will get a voucher for $54 of free sequencing!
We are now offering two prizes: one for "best" plasmid template and one for "best" PCR product template.
[Fineprint: You must purify the template yourself to qualify. And for the pros out there: You can only win once a year.]
Heads up ...
As of Jan, 2012, we have negotiated improved pricing for oligos.
Simply choose the outside synthesis service provider on the work-request form on-line ordering The oligos will be delivered to OHSU and we will contact you for either pickup or delivery to your lab. We can help with design and troubleshooting.

As we attempt to break even as a University Shared Resource, we may need to raise fees when expenses increase. Check About/Fees for our current rates.
