BMC is officially moving almost all of our sample intake to [https://mit.ilabsolutions.com iLabs]. We have spent the past several months moving the forms for Illumina library prep, sequencing and Pacbio sequencing over to the new system and testing it out - thank you to the labs that helped us with our beta testing! You can find BMC in iLabs at https://mit.ilabsolutions.com/ in the KI Genomics Core / MIT BioMicro Center section. The new forms are under "Request Services". All projects using MIT cost objects should use iLabs going forward. Projects being billed to outside groups or by PO should continue to use the forms on the website.<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> | |||
