The DNA Services Core provides automated fluorescent "long read" capillary DNA sequence analysis, cell-line authentication, and oligonucleotide synthesis. Learn more about us
DNA Services Core
The DNA Services Core is a unit of the Integrated Genomics Laboratory and is located on OHSU Marquam Hill Campus in Richard Jones Hall, room 5330.
- Sanger Sequencing: Selective incorporation of chain-terminating ddNTPs by DNA polymerase during in vitro DNA replication to determine sequences up to 1kb in length
- Human Cell Line Authentication: Accurate authentication of human cell lines using STR analysis and meeting the ANSI/ATCC requirements
- Fragment Analysis: Detection of changes in the length of a specific DNA sequence to indicate the presence or absence of a genetic marker
- Targeted SNP Sequencing: Identification of a change in the genetic sequence that occurs at a site where a restriction enzyme cuts
- Oligo Synthesis: Creation of custom primers and probes for oligo and siRNA synthesis through Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT)
- DNA Quantification: Quantification, size and quality assessment of DNA samples
- Consulting: For project design and sample preparation assistance
