Illumina Sequencing Services
The MU DNA Core has provided next generation sequencing services since 2008. Core staff are experienced with RNA/DNA QC techniques, library construction methods, and data generation on Illumina instruments.
The facility maintains a NextSeq 500 and two MiSeq instruments, as well as, necessary ancillary equipment. The combined data yield of these instruments allows the DNA Core to provide sequencing capacity for both the small and large project. Contact the DNA Core to discuss a future project.

Sanger Sequencing Services
The MU DNA Core accommodates both single sample users and high-throughput projects. The facility utilizes a 3730xl 96-capillary DNA Analyzer with Applied Biosystems Big Dye Terminator cycle sequencing chemistry. The 96-capillary instrument with robotic plate handler provides a high throughput capacity at minimal cost to investigators.
Read lengths up to 900 bases per reaction are routine, providing the template is of high quality. Turn around time for submissions is 24 hours. Contact the DNA Core for additional information.
