Genome Analysis Education & Training

The Genome Analysis Core provides training and consulting services to aid users in their real-time PCR studies as well as other custom assays.

A free 1-2 hour seminar is offered a couple times a year and is designed to educate the novice QPCR user with the terminology and methods most commonly employed. Hands-on training is offered upon request and provides in-depth training at the bench and data analysis with a qualified technician and the core manager for $427.00.  Contact core personnel for scheduling. Two weeks advance notice is usually required.

Consultations for assay or project design are subject to charges of $142.00/hr. If our laboratory members provide significant intellectual input for a study, then authorship is typically warranted.
