Q: Where is the Genomics Core Facility?
A: We are located in RES-126. Email Dr. Kwon to coordinate a lab visit or sample drop off time. Upon arrival, please ring the doorbell. 

Q: How can I obtain my sequencing data?
A: You can come directly to the lab with a storage device for direct data transfer, or download your sequencing run directly through Illumina’s BaseSpace dashboard.

Q: What should I consider when designing my project for sequencing?
A: Here are a few resources to help you determine the optimal library preparation kit for your samples (from Illumina), sequencing coverage, and pricing estimates. 

Contributions to scientific output is an important metric for Core Labs, as it enables us to obtain financial and other support to ensure continuous high standards of operations to foster innovative research.
