基因组学核心是一个新的共享资源设施，它将以下功能汇集到一个核心中： 微阵列和基因分型核心沿着了以前由 西北生物技术实验室该设施提供了罗伯特H。Lurie综合癌症 中心成员，NU研究人员和外部用户可以使用三种方法进行基因表达谱分析 平台;使用三种不同技术的基因分型和SNP分析;自动化高通量DNA 提取和DNA测序服务。这种整合产生了一种更高效、更经济的 操作该中心由主任、5名技术员和1名财务助理组成。核心房屋8 主要仪器，包括Centra Systems AUTOPURE LS，Illumina BeadChip 500 GXDW系统， Affytron GeneChip仪器系统，ABI 7900 HT，400 XL ScanArray，MicroGridII，ABI 3130 x1和 3730 DNA分析仪。基因组学核心与生物信息学核心密切合作，并计划 加强与病理学中心的合作，将其服务整合到这项新行动中。在 此外，基因组学核心将继续赞助教育讲座和讲习班，以帮助维持一个 癌症中心研究人员对最先进的基因组学研究有较高的了解 技术，以帮助他们的研究。

The Genomics core is a new shared resource facility that brings together into one core, the capabilities of Microarray and Genotyping cores along with the DMA sequencing services previously offered by the Northwestern Biotechnology Laboratory. The facility provides the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center members, NU researchers, and external users access to gene expression profiling using three platforms; genotyping and SNP analysis using three different technologies; automated high-throughput DNA extraction and DNA sequencing services. This consolidation produces a more efficient and cost effective operation. The core is staffed by the director, 5 technicians and a financial assistant. The core houses 8 major instruments, including a Centra Systems AUTOPURE LS, Illumina BeadChip 500GXDW system, Affymetrix GeneChip instrument system, ABI 7900HT, 400XL ScanArray, MicroGridll, ABI 3130x1 and an 3730 DNA analyzer. The Genomics core collaborates closely with the bioinformatics core and plans to increase its collaboration with pathology core as it consolidates its services into this new operation. In addition, the genomics core will continue sponsoring educational talks and workshops to help maintain a high level of knowledge amongst Cancer Center investigators regarding state-of-the-art genomics research technologies to help facilitate their research.
