This core will provide services in genomics such as:

• DNA sequencing and DNA fragment analyses
   
• Qualitative and quantitative analyses of DNA and RNA samples
   
• Microarray analyses of gene expression
   
• Supportive bioinformatic for the above measure.
  
  

This core will develop and eventually provide services in cell biology such as:

• Establishment of primary cell cultures from human and murine tissues
   
• Development of new methods to grow primary cell cultures,
   
• Establishment and characterization of cell lines from human and murine tissues,
   
• Development of Flow Cytometry Analytical Ability,
   
• Repository of protocols for primary tissue cultures, and
   
• Repository and inventory for cryo-preserved primary tissue cultures.
