The DNA Sequencing Center (DNASC) at Brigham Young University was established to help researchers and students process DNA samples efficiently and economically. By centralizing equipment and expertise, we have dramatically reduced the overall expense to the University and to individual labs needing DNA sequence, while increasing the efficiency and quality of the data generated. The DNASC is committed to serving the BYU research community by providing advanced and efficient services for DNA sequence and DNA fragment acquisition and analysis.

HOURS OF OPERATION

8:30am - 5:00pm Monday - Friday (except for BYU holidays)

Our 454 GS FLX was upgraded to GS FLX+ on August 3, 2011 meaning we can provide you with even longer read lengths

Some of the services provided by the DNASC include:

Custom DNA Sequencing (3730xl for dideoxy sequencing chemistry, or 454 Life Sciences Genome Sequencer GS FLX+ for large scale sequencing projects)
DNA Fragment Analysis
Sequencing and PCR troubleshooting and training
SNP analysis
Primer walking
Contig assembly and editing
Please contact Edward Wilcox at the DNASC well before planning or preparing samples to run on the 454 Life Sciences Genome Sequencer

The DNASC is supported by Brigham Young University through the Department of Biology under the direction of Dr. Michael F. Whiting and managed by Dr. Edward Wilcox.

A great data set from a recent 454 run
