DNA Core

The DNA Core provides DNA diagnostic tests that define the exact mutations in genes that cause a series of important human disease. The Core’s unique tests include DNA tests for osteogenesis imperfecta, Marfan syndrome, and chondrodysplasias. The center also offers highly efficient DNA sequencing that rapidly defines the exact DNA sequence of genes from any source. The facility includes the latest automated micro-capillary based instruments for DNA analyses. Also, the staff provides expertise in DNA samples preparation, analysis, and data interpretation.

The Core also offers cell analysis and sorting by fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS). FACS can rapidly scan millions of cells and deposit then in separate tubes based on small differences in size, shape, or protein content.
