The full-service Penn State College of Medicine Genome Sciences Facility provides consultation, instrumentation and services to both Penn State and non-Penn State investigators in genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic studies.
The variety of instrumentation allows for capabilities ranging from highly focused analysis of candidate SNPs and mRNAs to whole genome, exome, epigenome and transcriptome sequencing. Services are also available for a variety of study designs extending from a few laboratory samples to large clinical projects involving hundreds or thousands of samples. The full bioinformatics service is also available for data analysis.
We receive either tissue, DNA/RNA, or customer-generated NGS libraries. We process samples according based on agreement reached during consultations on the design of the experiment. We develop new applications to accommodate state-of-the-art NGS technologies. We conduct sequence read alignment, secondary analysis (quantitation, variant calling, functional annotation, visualization, etc) and follow-up with the interpretation of the results. We provide support for grant writing and hands-on training for students and postdocs in NGS processing.

shRNA
The Genome Sciences core offers access to our shRNA libraries to investigators upon request. Approximately 90,000 shRNA clones that target greater than 15,000 individual genes are available for either mouse or human genomes.
shRNA is stored in -80º. Investigators will need to provide a summary of the specific clone they are requesting and will need to provide the LB broth. Core staff will pipette a small amount of the appropriate shRNA clone into the broth for the customer.
Inquire
small (micro) RNA Library prep (NextFlex or Qiagen Kit) recomended mimimum 5-10M reads.
