Services & Facilities
IGSB features state-of-the-art core technologies at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory. These facilities support efforts to define the complex genetics underlying disease and the development of potential therapeutics to target disease pathways.
Current and upcoming facilities include:
Celluar Screening Center (CSC)
- High-throughput RNAi and chemical genetic screening
High-throughput Genome Analysis Core (HGAC)
- Tiling and expression arrays for large-scale experiments
- Sequencing using the speed and cost efficiency of the latest technologies including Solexa and 454
Micro-Western Array Core (MWA)
- The Micro-Western Array (MWA) Core is a technological initiative designed to provide a quantitative platform for studies of abundance and modification of pre-selected protein targets.
BAC-Recombineering Core (BRC)
- The BAC-Recombineering Core can provide investigators affiliated with CBC schools the capability to dynamically image fluorescently tagged proteins in model organisms and measure spatiotemporal expression of protein of interest.
