GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Title: NextSeq2000 sequencer
2. Background Information: The NHGRI Microarrays and Single-cell Genomics Core (MSCGC) was established on 2000. The facility represents a consortium between the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). It has been providing intramural investigators with full service, cost-effective and time-efficient access to comprehensive state-of-the-art genomics and transcriptomics technologies for understanding genome copy number, patterns of gene expression, microRNA profiles and epigenetics. Most investigator project requests are “Full Service”, in which the investigator will provide the chips, labeling kit and isolated RNA/DNA samples, and the core performs labeling, hybridization and data extraction. Upon project completion, the investigator is then provided with a summary report including the data quality assessment, preliminary analysis and raw data output files. Since its conception, the core has processed tens of thousands RNA/DNA samples thus building experience and expertise in bringing accuracy and consistency to our genomics services through rigorous standardization of protocols and multiple quality control checks..
