Located in the sub-basement of Whistler, in rooms S039 and S045, The Purdue Genomics Core Facility provides both low-throughput and high-throughput DNA sequencing, Affymetrix GeneChip processing, colony picking, library duplication, rearraying and filter printing services on a recharge basis.

The following are the services currently available as Purdue University. Most of these services are also available to users outside Purdue. Charges will be approximately 1.52X for external users. Contact us for exact prices.

Sequencing LTL

Bring us your DNA, a primer and we return a sequence read to you. More details available here: LTL. Currently $9.20/sample or $5.60/sample for Purdue Cancer Center Members.

 

 

Sequencing HTL

We sequence from 96-well or 384-well plates of glycerol stocks. Contact us if you have a large job.  These prices include minipreps, sequencing reactions, clean-ups, runs on our ABI 3730XL sequencers and some data analysis (e.g.  blast searches or sequence assembly.)

 

Cost

Cost/read

Description

$313.80

$3.27

96-well plate 1 primer = 96 reads

$476.70

$2.48

96-well plate 2 primers = 192 reads

$434.60

$1.13

384-well plate 1 primer = 384 reads

$776.90

$1.01

384-well plate 2 primers = 768 reads

 

 

Bacterial Filter Arrays

$264.40 for four 22x22 cm filters. Usually 18,432 glycerol stocks (in 384-well plates) are spotted per filter. We incubate the filters, lyse the resulting bacterial colonies and crosslink their DNA to the filter using UV irradiation.

Colony Picking

Bring your titred transformation mix. We plate the bacteria on appropriate media and pick the resulting colonies into 384-well plate glycerol stocks. $10.60/plate of glycerol stocks requested.

Library Duplication

Replicate a library of glycerol stocks in 96 or 384 well plates. If your library is in Genetix 384-well plates the charge is $5/plate duplicated. If your library is not in Genetix 384-well plates we have to use a more cumbersome method of duplication for which the charge is $6.70/plate.

 

Library Rearray

Bring your library of glycerol stocks in 384-well plates (source plates) and a list of the plate and wells you wish to be placed in new destination plates. In most cases a fresh replicate of the library must be used for good results. Charge is $7.60 for each source and destination plate. For example, rearraying the contents of 9 source plates into 1 destination plate would cost $76.

 

Shotgun Library Construction

Bring us DNA, we mechanically shear it to a specified size-range, blunt the resulting fragments and clone into the Invitrogen vector, pCR4TOPO, and electroporate into DH10B host cells. Charge is $251.50—not including cost of colony picking.

 

Affymetrix GeneChips

Bring us total RNA and the Affy chip you want run. For single-cycle labeling protocol (works best with >5000 ng of total RNA, 500 ng minimum) the charge is $249.10. For two-cycle labeling (10 ng minimum total RNA) the charge is $313.10. More information here: Affy
