Genotyping
The Genome Analysis Core at Mayo Clinic has nearly a decade of experience providing genomics support for both large and small projects conducted by Mayo Clinic investigators and their collaborators. Staff members have extensive experience working at the forefront of genomics, including expertise designing custom assays for genotyping and sequencing templates.
The Genome Analysis Core provides comprehensive genotyping services to investigators at Mayo Clinic and their collaborators, as well as researchers around the world. Genotyping is offered on a variety of platforms, including state-of-the-art genome wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays. In addition, several approaches for methylation analyses are available. The core also provides consultations to assist investigators in determining how best to achieve their aims.
