From GenoSeq
The UCLA Genotyping and Sequencing Core
GenoSeq, the UCLA Genotyping and Sequencing Core, is a state-of-the-art laboratory facility equipped with the latest genomic technologies. The GenoSeq Core provides services to research groups on the UCLA campus and in the broader scientific community. The Core contributes to research throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, and South America. Approximately 4000 scientists from over 600 academic, government, and commercial labs have used the Core since 2000. The GenoSeq Core is one of only two Applied Biosystems SNPlex Reference Labs in the U.S. The Core is part of the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, whose Medical Center has been rated one of the country’s top three hospitals, and number one on the west coast, for 18 consecutive years.
The GenoSeq Core is involved in a broad range of scientific research. Medical research performed at the GenoSeq Core includes studies of human neurological disorders, such as autism, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy; cancers of breast, colon, lung, and prostate; cardiac disease; and digestive disorders. The GenoSeq Core also carries out studies of the genetics of non-human organisms from wolves in Yellowstone Park to giraffes, whales, crickets, and oak. See more projects.
The GenoSeq Core is closely linked to the UCLA Bioinformatics Core in Gonda Center, which provides the computing power and sophisticated software needed to analyze and interpret the unprecedented volume of genetic data being generated with modern laboratory automation.
The GenoSeq Core provides services in the following areas:
- Sequencing
- Genome Sequencing
- Genotyping (SNP and microsatellite)
- Expression
- DNA Methylation
- Copy Number Analysis
- siRNA and RNAi
- Bioinformatics

Next Generation Sequencing
The UCLA GenoSeq Core has recently acquired a Roche GS FLX (454) Next Generation Sequencer. This technology was brought to the Core with the generous support of Drs. Robert Goldberg, Michael Phelps, Thomas Smith, and Robert Wayne.
To find out more about using this technology in your research contact us
or come to the GS FLX User Group meeting the first Wednesday of every month at 1pm in 5303 Gonda.
