Integrated Core Facility Support and Optimization of Next Generation Sequencing Technologies
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: New DNA sequencing technologies present an exceptional opportunity for novel and creative applications with the potential for breakthrough discoveries. To support such research efforts, the Cornell University Life Sciences Core Laboratories Center has implemented the Illumina HiSeq 2000 and the Roche 454 GS FLX platforms as academic core facility shared research resources. We have established sample handling methods, LIMS tools and BioHPC informatics analysis pipelines in support of these new technologies. Our genomics core laboratory, in collaboration with our epigenomics core and bioinformatics core, provides sample preparation and data generation services and both project consultation and analysis support for a wide range of possible applications, including de novo or reference based genome assembly, detection of genetic variation, transcriptome sequencing, small RNA profiling, and genome-wide epigenomic measurements of methylation and protein-nucleic acid interactions. Implementation of next generation sequencing platforms as shared resources with multidisciplinary core facility support enables cost effective access and broad based use of these technologies.
