1. Resource Description

   Overview The Genomics Shared Resource serves as a hub for consultation and scientific interaction relating to nucleic acid-based methods. It provides expertise and support to insure the best possible outcomes for genomic related projects. The Facility supports several state-of-the-art platforms for a wide variety of nucleic acid-based studies, including massively parallel sequencing as well as routine capillary sequencing. The Facility also supports transcriptomic projects including RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, methylation (MeDIP), small RNA-Seq and targeted sequencing. In addition, we support gene expression studies using Quant-Seq (3’ RNA-seq) and low input sequencing for most applications. Single Cell-Seq is supported by the Takara iCell 8 MSND system. Additional platforms for targeted gene expression studies include the nanoString platform supporting all custom or commercially available applications. We also provide SNP genotyping using TaqMan assays, microsatellite analyses and C. bovis assays. RNA/DNA isolations from various types of samples, including FFPE are also provided. In addition to consultation and collaboration with Wistar Cancer Center members, the Facility provides services to the greater scientific community. The establishment of this facility was supported in part by an NCI Cancer Center Support Grant and equipment grants from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, The Pew Charitable Trusts and the National Cancer Institute."
