Genetics/Genomics Section
We provide support for study design, analysis and methods/software development in the areas of clinical or population genetics, biomarker discovery, bioinformatics, pathway analysis and molecular genetics. In particular, we analyze a variety of genetic data types including:
- DNA level marker data (SNPs, microsatellites, next generation/high-throughput sequencing)
- Gene expression mRNA data (microarrays, quantitative PCR, next generation/high-throughput sequencing
- microRNA expression
- Copy Number Variation (CNV)
- Epigenetics data (DNA methylation, nucleosome positioning, ChIP-seq)
Our goal is to help facilitate genetics/genomics research and keep U of U researchers up to date with the rapidly changing technology and methods in this field.
