Description

The main objective of this platform is the set-up of high-throughput technologies in order to provide support for the characterization of genomes from different points of view. In particular, this laboratory handles molecular biology techniques and bioinformatics analyses applied to the investigation of DNA variants at the whole genome level, the expression of coding and non-coding RNAs and the characterization of DNA methylation profiles.

We count on specialized equipment:

-    HiScan-SQ (Illumina Inc.)
-    QS6 (Applied Biosystems)
-    Bioanalyzer system (Agilent Technologies)
-    Experion (BioRad)
-    EpiMotion liquid handling (Eppendorf)
-    Centrifuges and microcentrifuges
-    Electrophoresis apparatus
-    Gel imaging systems, etc.

Services
