Notice: Penn Genomic Analysis Core will be opening for all services on June 1st, 2020 in accordance with the guidance from Perelman School of Medicine’s Phase I reopening plan. During this time we will be accepting samples for DNA and RNA molecular profiling at different scales (microarray, Fluidigm, real-time PCR) DNA, RNA extraction, Sanger, molecular biology work, NGS, BioAnalyzer, fragment analysis etc.
Please contact Hetty Rodriquez hettymr@pennmedicine.upenn.edu

Overview of Services
The Molecular Profiling Facility provides full service whole genome and targeted molecular profiling of DNA and RNA on multiple platforms. The Facility offers a range of cost and performance options suitable for a variety of experimental projects. While the Facility staff performs most of the assays, investigator-performed studies are actively encouraged through the sharing of Facility procedures, individualized training of investigators or their technical staff, and use of core equipment.
The core supports quantitative RNA profiling on Affymetrix GeneChips and the high-throughput Gene Titan instrument, Luminex FlexMap 3D, Fluidigm BioMark HD, and the ABI QS 12K real-time PCR machine.
DNA profiling is offered on Affymetrix SNP GeneChips and the high-throughput Gene Titan instrument, Fluidigm BioMark HD, and the ABI QS 12K.
The Agilent aCGH platform provides genome-wide chromosomal analysis.
Comprehensive bioinformatics services are available for datasets from the core or from any source. Analyses are customized based on experimental design and prioritized goals. Specification and delivery of results are provided via face-to-face meetings.
Core users benefit from consultation and training available throughout their projects, including during experimental design and budget development, grant preparation, sample accrual, data management and analyses, and manuscript preparation.
