Genomics/Microarray Facility

How to Obtain Services

For Information regarding hybridization,or analysis of Illumina arrays please
contact Celia Chang (chang@wistar.org) or the array support email hotline 
Arraysupport@wistar.org, or more urgently at 215-898-3902. You should expect an answer the same day. 

• For questions about scheduling and costs  for, SNP Genotyping, CNV Analysis and Gene Expression Analysis. Contact Celia Chang . The Facility will amplify  your RNA for gene expression and hybridize the arrays according to Facility protocols. All samples submitted for analysis must be accompanied by the Sample RNA Form. Data analysis is performed by the Wistar Bioinformatics Group, http://bioinfo.wistar.upenn.edu/, Please contact bioinfo@wistar.org with further questions regarding pricing and analysis.

• Calen Nichols is the primary contact for information on sample preparation and submission for sequencing on the Solexa GAII. Please direct questions to Calen at nichols@wistar.org. For our Sample Preparation and Sequencing Price List please click on the "user fees" link on the right and scroll to the bottom. We require the following two forms to be electronically filled out and emailed to Calen prior to accepting sample submissions: "GAII submission form" and "Image Storage Agreement form".
  
  Data analysis is performed by the Wistar Bioinformatics Group. A comprehensive list of the basic and additional specialized analyses can be found at: http://bioinfo.wistar.upenn.edu/docs/
  SolexaDataAnalysis_ BioinfoFacility.pdf. Please contact bioinfo@wistar.org with further questions regarding pricing and or make an appointment for consultation. Please note that there is a separate fee to obtain your data after sequencing charged by the bioinformatics to process basic analysis. Additional analysis increases the rate depending on your needs.

• Sequencing and Microsatellite Analysis.  Contact Ms. Tran Nguyen by email at DNA_SEQ@wistar.org to schedule your sequencing. Please complete the DNA Sequencing Sample Submission Form (Excel File).  Ms. Ngyuen can also be reached at 215-898-3911. Please check the sequencing site for further information.
