Genomics Core

 

     The mission of the Genomics Core is to provide comprehensive genomics, microarray and bioinformatics support to Center investigators through a wide array of state-of-the-art analytical equipment and data analysis capabilities.

     The Core is housed in the LSUHSC Gene Therapy Program and the adjacent Stanley Scott Cancer Center. Services include assistance in microarray experimental design and data analysis, protein and nucleotide sequence analysis, functional analysis of high-throughput data, data mining, data organization and repository, whole microbial and mammalian genome mapping, and database development.

 

Location:

LSU Health Sciences Center - CSRB 4th and 5th floors
