SeattleSNPs Genotyping Support
Few mechanisms exist by which investigators in the early stages of their
careers can cost-effectively genotype single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) in candidate genes or regions in small, moderate, or large-scale
population-based association studies. Furthermore, the current costs
of in-house genotyping and re-sequencing (e.g., capital equipment costs
and assay reagents), while becoming less expensive over time, are often
prohibitively expensive for young investigators whose institutional resources
are limited. With financial support provided through the National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute's (NHLBI) Program for Genomic Applications
(PGA), SeattleSNPs is offering genotyping services for SNPs in candidate
genes to investigators on a competitive application basis. Two genotyping
platforms will be available: SNPlex (Applied Biosystems) and BeadArray
(Illumina). In addition to genotyping services, SeattleSNPs can provide
consultation on SNP selection (tagSNPs) and data management and analysis,
if requested.
