Platform compatible primers are designed using PSQ assay design software. Current throughput for the pyrosequencers in our labs exceeds 12,000 genotypes per day. High-throughput pyrosequencing for SNP genotyping
6. http://www.genomecenter.howard.edu/ Performed on ABI 3100 automated DNA sequencers using big dye terminator chemistry . Custom primer designing for amplification and sequencing of up to 500 bp of bi-directional reads. Direct DNA Sequencing
7. http://www.genomecenter.howard.edu/ HLA genotyping HLA genotyping after reverse PCR-SSO using Luminex Technology that offers a microspehere based assay with multiplexed data acquisition and analyses. High resolution sequence based typing of HLA-B, HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 to identify new HLA alleles as well as to assign allele calls by comparing sequences with reference databases.
