Molecular Sequencing Core Serving USC Keck School of Medicine
Services
Consultation on study design and implementation for research incorporating molecular genomic technologies or methodologies, including consultation for single cell profiling and spatial transcriptomics.
Sample preparation to improve success: compromised blood samples, blood spots, FFPE, fresh frozen specimens, live tissue/cells for single cell profiling, and plasma for cell free nucleic acid profiling. Lab automation systems enable high throughput sample preparation and analyte extraction (including FFPE).
Genotyping: RT-PCR, Microarray SNP genotyping, including Q-PCR (QuantStudio 7) for higher quality data.
Next Gen. Sequencing: Targeted, whole exome, whole genome bulk sequencing, mRNA-seq and whole transcriptome bulk sequencing, including access to Illumina NovaSeq6000 for high throughput sequencing.
Single Cell and Spatial Profiling: single cell DNA and RNA profiling capabilities, and Spatial RNA profiling.
Epigenomics: microarray DNA methylation, targeted DNA methylation by NGS, whole genome bisulfite sequencing, ChIP-seq by NGS, ATAC-seq by NGS, single cell ATAC-seq.
