Genomics addresses biological questions on a genome-wide scale. It has emerged from the recent explosion in DNA sequence information and from advances in bioinformatics tools and laboratory automation.

The CGB Genomics Group aims to foster vigorous and sustainable genomics research at IUB. We believe that the most effective way of leveraging the physical and intellectual resources of the CGB is through collaborative research; consequently we are a "research center" rather than a "service center". We foster genomics research by (i) undertaking independent research, (ii) undertaking research in collaboration with IUB faculty groups, (iii) consultation and training, and (iv) providing access to genomics instruments.

We are well equipped for automated high-throughput genomics applications, including, but not limited to: plasmid DNA preparation, PCR amplification and clean-up, thermal cycle sequencing reactions and clean-up, automated gel loading and documentation, microarray production, hybridization, scanning, and analysis, quantitative PCR, SNP and mutation detection, bar coded sample tracking, and integrated laboratory information management. In brief, we can adapt virtually anything you currently do in a micro centrifuge tube to a high-throughput format.
