Located in the sub-basement of Whistler, in room S045, The Purdue Genomics Core Facility provides both next-generation–Illumina HiSeq and MiSeq, “Sanger” sequencing and introducing an inexpensive next-generation sequencing service that we call “WideSeq“
To submit samples for
Sanger sequencing services:
As of December 4th, 2019, The Purdue Genomics Core has suspended all Sanger Sequencing services. Commercial services to replace those we previously offered may be available from the following companies: GeneWiz, Eurofins or Psomagen/Macrogen. Feel free to email Phillip SanMiguel, pmiguel@purdue.edu, for additional information.
Illumina Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) services:
The Genomics Core Facility has numerous services so deciding which one to use can be challenging. Here are a few guidelines to help you decide
- Illumina Sequencing. If you want to sequence a large template source, such as an entire genome or transcriptome, then it will be far more cost effective to use “next generation” Illumina sequencers.
- Sanger Sequencing. In general, if you just need sequence from a few DNA templates, such as plasmids or PCR products, the oldest technology, “Sanger Sequencing” will likely be fine for you.
- Purdue “WideSeq”. Some sequencing tasks are intermediate in their demands for sequence. For example sequencing an entire plasmid, rather than just obtaining a few reads from its insert, or sequencing a group of unrelated PCR products. For these we have created a service called “WideSeq”.
If you already know what you want and just need to know how much it will cost, here is the price list for Purdue customers.
If you would like to use our services but but will not be paying from a Purdue account, here is the price list for external customers.
