The price for SYBR green is decreasing significantly to $25/ml. In the fall, we compared a number of new providers based on their ability to quantify Illumina libraries. Of the two we tested, one preformed as well as KAPA (the other did not). KAPA, in turn, was able to lower the cost of their SYBR significantly which we prefer as it will maintain consistency. Due to the lower cost, we are also removing the pooling charges from Illumina sequencing - those costs are being absorbed into the QC costs instead. The Roche SYBR did not match this lower cost and we will be discontinuing our bulk purchases of it.<BR><BR> | |||

== ABOUT THE BIOMICRO CENTER == | |||
The MIT BioMicro Center was founded in 2000 as the core bio-fabrication and microarray processing facility at MIT. The Center is a joint endeavor between the [http://biology.mit.edu Department of Biology], the [http://ki.mit.edu Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research], the [http://be.mit.edu Department of Biological Engineering] and the [http://cehs.mit.edu MIT Center for Environmental Health Sciences.] The BioMicro Center offers a wide range of genomic services to researchers at MIT. The majority of services rendered pertain to massively parallel sequencing using the Illumina platform (both library preparation and sequencing). Commercial array processing and include both the Affymetrix Gene Chip and Agilent DNA array platforms are also part of our portfolio. Real-time PCR and Agilent BioAnalyzer services are available in the facility both as services available to researchers, as well as for quality control of microarray and sequencing samples. In addition, the Center has a presence in high-throughput screening with robotics and plate reading as well as informatics and computational support. The BioMicro Center serves the [http://ki.mit.edu Koch Institute] as the [http://ki.mit.edu/sbc/microarray MicroArray Technologies Core] and as part of the [http://ki.mit.edu/sbc/bioinformatics Bioinformatics and Computing Core] and the [http://cehs.mit.edu MIT Center for Environmental Health Sciences] as part of the [http://cehs.mit.edu/facilities.html#Genomics_and_Bioinformatics_Core Genomics and Imaging Core]<BR><BR> | |||
