Genomics Lab

The Genomics Lab is available to assist investigators with effective design, genetic data generation, and analysis of genetic clinical research protocols. The services provided by the CTRC staff include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Assistance with Study Design, including the issues of sample size, candidate gene selection, haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) selection, and phenotype definition
• DNA processing, including extraction (from whole blood, buffy coats, buccal swabs, mouthwashes, hair), tracking, and storage
• Assistance with SNP genotyping, using simplex (TaqMan) and multiplex (SNPlex) platforms
• Assistance with development of databases with genetic and phenotypic information
• Assistance with Data Analysis, using a wide range of analytical techniques, including SNP analysis, haplotype analysis, copy number variant (CNV) analysis, and microarray analysis

We support different study designs that involve unrelated individuals and families, including prospective studies, case-control studies, pharmacogenomic studies, nutrigenomic studies, and meta-analyses of genetic association studies.
