Research Facilities
10X Chromium Controller聽鈥 A Chromium Controller is available to resident scientists, visiting scientists and course participants who wish to prepare libraries for single cell/nuclear RNAseq, ATACseq or multiomics using the 10X Genomics platform.聽
The Keck Facility聽at the Josephine Bay Paul Center (JBPC) is equipped for 鈥淣ext-Gen鈥 sequencing. We currently operate an Illumina MiSeq, capable of 2 x 300 nt reads (~20M clusters), and an Illumina NextSeq, capable of 2 x 150 nt reads (130-400M clusters).
The Marine Resources Center聽is a highly advanced facility for maintaining, culturing, and providing aquatic organisms essential to advanced biological, biomedical, and ecological research.
The Cephalopod Breeding Program 鈥 At the MBL scientists are embarking on a groundbreaking new effort to culture cephalopods in the laboratory with the goal of creating a new genetic model system.
罢丑别听狈补迟颈辞苍补濒听齿别苍辞辫耻蝉听Resource聽(NXR) is located at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and serves as a national stock center for X. laevis and X. tropicalis as well as a training center for advanced technologies (e.g. husbandry, cell biology, imaging, genetics, transgenesis, genomics).
罢丑别听Stable Isotope Laboratory聽provides stable isotope services for research and industry. The lab utilizes both Dual- Inlet and Continuous-Flow Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer systems for the measurement of 未15N, 未13C, 未18O, 未34S and 未2H on various types of samples.
