CRI Sequencing Facility

About

CRI’s Sequencing Facility is a shared resource committed to enhancing research capacity for CRI and UT Southwestern scientists through the use of genomics-based technologies. The facility has an Illumina NextSeq 500 desktop Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) system optimized for high throughput, high speed and long reads.

Our core services include:

  • NextSeq500 sequencing
    • Midsized project with a handful of samples
    • Transcriptome mRNA-seq
    • Transcriptome total RNA-seq
    • ChIP-seq
    • Exome sequencing
    • Targeted sequencing
    • Amplicon sequencing (e.g. CRISPR screening libraries)
  • 10xGenomics scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq
  • Agilent Tapestation 2200 RNA/DNA analysis
  • Qubit DNA quantification
