Dear Potential Users,

We sometimes have an inquiry if there are the qPCRs available that the external users can use. YES, we have. Our qPCRs are open for everyone, but we need to ask fee for your usage.

If you are interested in our qPCR, please feel free to ask me.

Thanks,

Taka Murakami, Genotyping Facility Manager @ 604.822.9491

Dear Potential Customers,

We are providing convenient and cost-effective genotyping services to all the researchers and the scientists. Things you need to do are giving us your samples and we extract the genomic DNA from your samples and assay on the PCR. The result will be back to you within five business days. Not only screening the model animals, but also we are assisting your SNPs analysis and the gene expression assay as well.

Any inquiry are very welcome and let’s discuss if we can be a part of your projects.

Thanks,

BRC Genotyping Core Facility

Thank you, all participants, for taking the training course yesterday and today. We hope it was successfully done for all of you.

We are offering other chances of the PCR-based genotyping training course. If you are interested in, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are now openly offer a PCR Hands-on Training Course (Two days, basic course). This course should be useful for people who are interested in PCR or Genotyping. Or people who need to get skills and knowledges of PCR or Genotyping.

This advanced hands-on training course consists of the SNPs quantitative PCR-based genotyping, and TaqMan probe-based-copy number genotyping assay.

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Life Science Weekly — A patent by the inventors Wang, Dennis (Dublin, CA); Hennessy, Lori (San Mateo, CA), filed on February 25, 2011, was published online on November 12, 2013, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents

Hologic said today that the US Food and Drug Administration has approved the Aptima HPV 16 18/45 genotype assay for use on the Panther automated molecular testing system.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded a five-year contract for genotyping in support of its Million Veteran Program to the BioProcessing Solutions Alliance, which is a unique partnership between a research center at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and a corporate provider of sample management solutions for the bioscience industry.

Genetic testing for personalized treatment of lung cancer was associated with improved survival, likely due to getting targeted kinase inhibitors to the right patients, a study showed.

We assisted one of valued clients to solve their PCR-based genotyping which had been happening since this summer. The PCR suddenly did not work on their protocol which was not changed by anything, such as devices and reagents. They got frustrated and wasted much money and time on that trouble.

We could be a troubleshooter, if you have had problem in the PCR-based genotyping. Please feel free to contact us.

The UK Biobank and Affymetrix recently finished developing an array that will be used to genotype all 500,000 samples in UKBB’s biorepository.
