UTSW Genomics Sequencing & Microarray Core Facility

Comprehensive coverage – Designed to interrogate all mature miRNA sequences in miRBase Release 20. Easily correlate miRNA results – Analysis files contain host gene ID, predicted and validated miRNA target genes, and clustered miRNA information.
Easy analysis – Analyze human, mouse, rat, or every miRNA for all species using the same array. Low sample input – Requires as little as 130 ng total RNA.
Simple, fast, and free analysis solution – Coupled with Affymetrix® Expression Console™ Software and Affymetrix® Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC) Software, researchers have a complete solution from data to decision-making in minutes

Autoantigen array panel I contains 95 autoantigens and 8 internal control antigens, including nuclear antigens, cytoplasmic antigens, membrane antigen, phospholipid antigens, etc. The autoantigens are printed on 16-pad FAST slide. Each chip contains 16 identical arrays and can process 15 samples and one PBS control

A total of 5-10ng ChIP DNA is required. 

Accelerate your biomarker discovery with Clariom D solutions—the next generation of transcriptome-level profiling tools—providing a highly detailed view of the transcriptome for the fastest path to actionable results. Available for human, mouse, and rat, Clariom D solutions allow translational scientists to generate high-fidelity biomarker signatures quickly and easily with a design that provides the most intricate transcriptome-wide gene- and exon-level expression profiles including the ability to detect alternative splicing events of coding and long non-coding RNA, in a single three-day experiment.

Clariom S assays focus on well-annotated genes (>20,000), providing researchers with the ability to perform gene-level expression profiling studies and to quickly assess changes in key genes and pathways. With less time required for data analysis, Clariom S assays help researchers reach conclusions more rapidly.

Our core offers whole genome-seq library prep service for the following organisms.

• Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)-4.0MB
• Staphylococcus aureus (SA)-2.8MB
• E. coli – 5.5MB
• Pseudomonas- 6MB
• Klebsiella pneumoniae- 5.3MB
• Homo sapiens 3234.83-MB

The service includes fragmentation, adding adaptors, size selection, amplification and QC.

 A minimum of 200ng DNA is required. We prefer to have 1 ug DNA. The DNA quality should be good. The volume is up to 35ul without EDTA. 

Hiseq 4000 sequencer normally can generate 300 million reads per lane. Only 8 lanes flowcell is available. If you don't need 8 lanes at a time, you need to share the FC with others.

Please note there are some specific requirements for libraries in order to run Hiseq 4000 sequencer:

1) The library quality check by bioanalyzer is required.

Sequences are aligned with HISAT2 (Kim et al. 2015), duplicates are removed using Samtools (Li et al. 2009) and counts are generated using FeatureCount (Liao et al 2014). Transcript assembly and FPKM abundances are determined using StringTie (Pertea et al. 2015).  For Tumor samples, gene fusions can be detected using STAR-Fusion.
