DNA Fragment analysis
The MB&P Core laboratory is equipped with two ABI Model 3100 genetic analyzers, which are routinely used for our standard DNA sequencing service. However, the instruments can also be used for a number of popular genetic assays based on DNA fragment (size) analysis. These assays include microsatellite, SNP, and AFLP analysis. The instruments allow multiplexing of the assays and use fifth dye technology; four reporter dyes and a fifth dye for standards in a single capillary. The core facility staff will be glad to assist in planning experiments using this technique. For more information contact the Core Facility.
