BU - DNA sequencing facility is established with the support of DST PURSE (Phase - II) Program. It functions in a state-of-the-art facility with a 1200 sq ft footprint.
The facility houses ABI 3500 DNA Analyzer from ABI and several other accessories managed by Thermo Fisher Scientific trained professionals.
Service Offered: DNA Sequencing [3500 Genetic Analyzer]
Additional Services: PCR Product Cleanup, 16s r RNA gene bacterial & ITS based fungal sequencing
Data Output:
- The DNA sequencing data output will be given in base sequence
- Chromatograms will be provided upon request that shows different colors for the four nucleotides A T G C
Sample Preparation Guidelines:
- Quality check using gel electrophoresis and nanodrop is recommended for PCR products
- Submit 50 microlitres of PCR product and 10 microlitres of primer per reaction for sequencing respectively
- Primer: 10 pmol / microlitre (Tm = 50 deg, 50 % GC content) with 18 to 24 bases
Highlights:
- The sequencing analysis is performed by Thermo - ABI certified professionals.
- The DNA sequencing facility is open during weekdays from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm for sample submission in person.
- The turnaround time for DNA sequencing of sequence-ready products will be within 3 to 4 days from the receipt of the sample.
- The samples can be submitted directly or through courier with the proper pacing guidelines
