Molecular Biology

The Molecular Biology Platform offers research services in the fields of molecular genetics and genomics, in activities related to genetic analysis such as Sanger sequencing, the identification of polymorphisms or expression studies
gene by qPCR.

Services

• Technical service for the analysis of samples in the sequencer and on the genomics platform: sequence and fragment analysis, gene mapping, mutation detection, genotyping, specific kits (MSI, SNPshot, Elucigene, GenePrint ...), qPCR , gene expression, high-throughput dPCR, etc.
• Technical service to carry out allelic discrimination studies, gene expression, viral RNA analysis or SNP detection with real-time PCR systems in our facilities
• Advice to users
• Training of new users in the use of the various self-service devices

Equipment

• Applied Biosystems 16 capillary ABI PRISM 3130xl Genetic Analyzer capillary electrophoresis DNA sequencer
• Fluidigm Biomarker genomics platform, which includes Access ArrayTM technology that allows the amplification of up to 48 samples in multiplexes and the preparation of up to 48 libraries that can be used in ultrasequencing on NGS platforms, including the 454 GS FLX + from Roche, the Ion Torrent ™ and the Genome AnalyzerIIx from Illumina, among others.
