Molecular Analytics Core Services & Fees

Bioinformatic service is available primarily for processing and/or downstream analysis of bulk RNA-seq data. The core can receive raw data from external providers, run RNA-seq processing pipelines (QC, alignment, quantification, differential expression, enrichment), and assist with dissemination of data to users or public archives. The core has proprietary and publicly available software for data processing and secure storage capacity for short- and longer-term storage or raw and processed data.
