Services

Our high quality sequencing and genotyping services are supported by:

Dedicated project management
In-house statistical geneticists, plus collaboration with University of Washington Department of Biostatistics
Cutting-edge informatics, data management and laboratory technologies
Knowledgeable and skilled staff committed to producing the highest quality data

Depending on access pathway, we include at no additional cost:

All Projects

Sample pretesting with option to resolve problems
Repeats of failed assays
Rigorous laboratory quality assurance

Positive controls and study duplicates
Customizable data release and project archive

General Sample Handling Workflow

CIDR Program Studies

We pretest samples using a 96 SNP GoldenGate assay to unambiguously tie DNA sample to production genotyping data and to verify sample quality, gender, family relationships and unexpected duplicates. Investigators have an option to resolve problems. This service is not available for VeraCode custom, focused content arrays or methylation studies.

Statistical genetics consultations are available to interested investigators. This collaboration must be requested well in advance. Appropriate letters of commitment will also be required. These services are not available for methylation or mouse studies.

We include bisulfite conversion for methylation studies using the Zymo EZ-96 DNA Methylation™ Kit. Conversion efficiency is generally >99%.

SNP Center GWAS Studies

Sample pretesting is not included for SNP Center studies except for GWAS studies larger than 94 samples. For these studies we pretest samples using a 96 SNP GoldenGate assay to unambiguously tie DNA sample to production genotyping data and to verify sample quality, gender, family relationships and unexpected duplicates. Investigators have an option to resolve problems.
