Nucleic Acids Research Facilities

核酸研究设施（NARF）资源，成立于1986年在VCU，包括四个服务 核心和一个支持核心。四个服务核心是：1）基因合成核心（GSC）; 2）真实的 时间PCR核心（RTPCRC）; 3）DMA测序核心（DSC）;和4）DMA微阵列核心（MAC）。 支持核心由一个小型生物信息学套件组成，该套件连接到主生物信息学 通过千兆以太网的计算核心实验室。 (All NARF活动的成本低于商业成本。大多数服务都是由 周转时间也比商业供应商短。因此，DMA寡聚物可以以小于 24小时，测序有1-2天的周转时间，RT PCR有1-3天的周转时间（取决于时间）。 实验）。MicroArrays每周运行一次，目前通常只有最小的访问队列。 周转时间很短（几天到一周的时间来获取数据）。

The Nucleic Acids Research Facilities (NARF) resource, established at VCU in 1986, consists of four service cores and one support core. The four service cores are: 1) the Gene Synthesis Core (GSC); 2) the Real Time PCR Core (RTPCRC); 3) the DMA Sequencing Core (DSC); and 4) the DMA Microarray Core (MAC). The Support Core is composed of a small bioinformatics suite connected to the main Bioinformatics Computational Core Labs via gigabit Ethernet. (All of the NARF activities are provided at below commercial cost. Most of the services are provided with shorter turn around times than commercial providers as well. Thus, DMA oligos can be provided in less than 24 hours, sequencing has a 1-2 day turnaround, and RT PCR has a 1-3 day turnaround (depending on the experiment). MicroArrays are run weekly and usually there is currently only a minimal queue for access. Turnaround time is minimal (a few days to a week to get the data).
