The Center for Medical Genomics at Indiana University School of Medicine is equipped with the following platforms:
- llumina NovaSeq X+
- Illumina NovaSeq 6000
- Illumina NextSeq 2000
- Oxford NanoporeP2 Solo
- Oxford Nanopore PromethION 24
For most library preparation and sequencing projects, average turnaround time is 4-6 weeks. However, for projects with a large number of samples or experiments that involve non-standard protocols, the turnaround time may be longer. For sequencing of pre-made libraries, the average turnaround time is 2 weeks from the time that samples and iLab request are submitted to the core.
After the experiment is concluded, the Center for Medical Genomics stores the remaining samples for up to three months. Please complete a “sample pick-up request” in iLab to retrieve the remaining samples.
Please contact the program manager for a service quote or schedule a consultation.
For all new users, an orientation meeting covers the logistics for using the center’s services. This meeting should include the PI who can make fiscal and logistics decisions, and technical staff who will directly prepare the samples.
Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 or TapeStation 2200 is used to assess the DNA and RNA quality submitted by the users. For liability reasons, all samples are evaluated before the procedure, regardless of whether the users have evaluated in their own laboratories.
Yes. The Center for Medical Genomics supports experiments with user-prepared library. However, the center requires the users to share the full protocol for the library preparation and provide the exact specifications for sequencing. The center is not responsible for the quality of the data if a large portion of the experiments are beyond the center’s control. If you require us to do pooling prior to sequencing, there will be an additional cost associated with it. Please schedule a consultation meeting if you have questions.
