Sanger Sequencing and Genotyping

(On campus, great value!)

Standard DNA Sequencing

The user provides template(s) and custom primers or specifies a standard primer (see below). This program includes diluting and mixing templates with primers, custom sequencing protocols, and special reaction conditions.

Use this form: (Standard Reaction + Analysis ticket)
Please email an electronic copy of the form to MBCL@umassmed.edu in addition to enclosing a paper copy with your samples.

EconoSEQ

The Economy sequencing option is available for users who set up their own reactions (3μl template + 1μl 5μM primer) in the prescribed format. Any primer can be used if it is provided by the user. If not, one of our standard primers must be chosen. There are guidelines for recommended template concentration on the ticket. EconoSeq samples are processed on a high through-put platform at a lower price than standard sequencing, and usually get processed sooner since they go directly into the workflow. Price includes reaction and analysis.

Use one of the forms below:
EconoSeq Ticket for Strip Tubes   (EconoSeq Ticket for Strips, excel version)
EconoSeq Ticket for 96 well Plates, excel version
High Throughput (HTP) - HTP pricing is per 96-well plate, and depends on project size. Please email us at MBCL@umassmed.edu for single plate pricing or a large scale quote.
Please email an electronic copy of the form to MBCL@umassmed.edu in addition to enclosing a paper copy with your samples.

Genotyping

Includes SNP, LOH, AFLP, Microsatellite, ARISA, and Fragment Sizing. Please email us for information about your specific project; we currently maintain sizing standards for 20 - 1,200 bases and have spectrals installed for most available dye sets.

Data Delivery and/or Retrieval

Data will be delivered via Globus. Access instructions will be included in your delivery notification. (You do not need a full Globus subscription to receive data, however you do need a registered email account. Information about Globus subscription and personal use is available at https://app.globus.org.)
