The MCIC provides services for

• low throughput sequencing using the ABI 3100xl and the 3'-BigDye dideoxynucleotide triphosphates labeling chemistry,
• genotyping using various platforms: fragment analysis on Beckman CEQ8800, SNP analysis on Luminex200 or Illumina BeadXpress
• MPS sequencing using the Illumina Solexa Genome analyzer.

The expansion of the initial sequencing lab with modern genomics equipment was made possible with funding from:

• OARDC Equipment Grants
• NSF-MUE, Ohio Board of Regents, OSU Research Fundation. 2004. Vanderknaap, E., Kamoun, S., Francis, D., Goodner, B. and Meulia, T. Instrumentation for High-throughput genotyping and sequencing projects.
• Ohio Bio-products Innovation Center (OBIC). 2006. Equipment for High Throughtput Genotyping.
