The Pennington Biomedical Research Center Genomics Core Facility operates two Applied Biosystems 3130XL sequencers. Large and small sequencing projects are easily accommodated for internal and external customers.

Customers may send their template for sequencing reaction and electrophoresis service or may send Big Dye Terminator sequencing reactions for electrophoresis only.

Turn around time is normally 24 hours for electrophoresis service and 2 days for sequencing reactions plus electrophoresis. Turn around time may be extended in the case of personnel shortage, equipment failure, or high volume.

Sequencing results are placed on a server for download from this web site to your computer. Results are provided in electropherogram and .Seq file formats. Printouts are available on request at an additional charge.
