GENOMICS

R芝加哥大学基因组学核心设施(GCF)致力于为在校的生物医学研究人员(从基因组学领域的专家到不熟悉全基因组和生物信息学方法的人)提供访问最先进的基因组学资源(下一代测序、DNA微阵列、桑格测序和基于非阵列的基因分型)的机会。 GCF于2006年由芝加哥大学现有的两个设施(UCCCC支持的DNA测序和基因分型设施和功能基因组学设施)合并而成。GCF继续提供已经提供的主要基因组学服务(Sanger测序、DNA微阵列和与阵列相关的生物信息学支持)，同时增加了下一代测序(NGS)服务和与NGS相关的生物信息学支持。此次合并为最终用户提供了单一的园区联络点，以满足他们的所有基因组学需求，同时在运营上消除了对许多重复的辅助设备(如NanoDrop、Bio-Analyzer)的需要，并允许随着服务需求的变化而在管理人力资源方面有更大的灵活性。目前，GCF作为两个紧密交互的数据生成子单元运行，

r The University of Chicago Genomics Core Facility (GCF) is committed to providing on-campus biomedical researchers (ranging from experts in the field of genomics to those unfamiliar with whole genome and bioinformatics approaches) with access to state-of-the-art genomics resources (next- Generation Sequencing, DNA microarrays, Sanger Sequencing and non-array based genotyping). The GCF was created in 2006 through the merger of two existing University of Chicago Facilities (the UCCCC-supported DNA Sequencing and Genotyping Facility and the Functional Genomics Facility). The GCF continued to offer access to the main genomics services already provided (Sanger sequencing, DNA microarrays, and array-associated bioinformatics support), while adding next-generation sequencing (NGS) services and NGS-associated bioinformatics support. The merger provided a single on-campus contact point for end-users to fulfill all their genomics needs while operationally eliminating the need for many duplicate pieces of auxiliary equipment (e.g., Nanodrop, Bio-Analyzer), as well as allowing far greater flexibility in managing the human work force as demand for services shift over time. Currently, the GCF is operating as two tightly interactive data generating subunits,
