Genotyping

GeneScan

GeneScan Fragment Analysis provides a rapid and accurate method for genotyping and SNP determination. » more

Genemapper

Genemapper Fragment Analysis provides genotyping by microsatellite analysis, AFLPs and loss of heterogeneity. The 5-color system allows the researcher to use 4 fluorescent-labeled primers to multiplex several genomes in the same well. At minimum, 4 genotypes can be determined per sample in less than an hour for about $120 (96 samples in a 96-well plate). Multiplexing different products with the same color can double or even quadruple the number of genotypes per sample (due to resolution of different-sized products with one base resolution). » more

SNP determination

SNPs can be determined by several techniques, including SNaPShot, SNPlex and Allelic Discrimination (Taqman Assays). » more

Tours

Want to tour a facility at University Park, or arrange a tour for someone else?

The Huck Institutes’ facility directors are glad to assist with scheduled tours for potential faculty hires and student recruitment. However, due to the heavy workloads in our facilities, we must request that the tours be set up in advance. Most of our facility directors cannot accommodate “drop in” tours since they are working on time sensitive research projects for faculty.

Procedure for setting up facility tours

Contact the facility director to schedule the tour. We request a one week notice prior to the potential visit (earlier if possible). Or, if you prefer, you can contact Megan Matthews to make your arrangements.
