How we can help you

The remarkable pace of progress in genomics has been driven largely by advances in technology and their application to a growing number of individuals and species. In support of research at the Institute and across the Duke campus, a primary mission of the IGSP is to enable access to these state-of-the-art genomic tools and technologies and to engage in the continual development and deployment of new approaches to explore genomes, organisms and populations.

Our core technology facilities now offer many of the latest tools and analytical expertise in areas including DNA sequencing, gene expression, proteomics and RNAi.

Microarray Facility

The Duke Microarray Core Facility, operated jointly with the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, provides services for the analysis of gene expression using DNA arrays and real-time PCR.Visit site

RNAi Facility

The RNAi Core Facility, established by the IGSP and Center for RNA Biology, develops and deploys state-of-the-art RNA interference technologies to support functional genomics research programs at Duke.Visit site

Computational Resources & IT

The IGSP's Computational Resources and IT experts offer integrated information systems for continuous data access, efficient analysis, and generous and secure storage. High performance computation is executed on the Duke Shared Cluster Resource.Visit site

Sequencing & Analysis Resource

The Genome Sequencing & Analysis Core Resource makes a variety of sequencing technologies available campus-wide, including the Roche GS-FLX System, otherwise known as "the 454," three Illumina sequencers and an ABI SOLiD 4.Visit site

Biospecimen Repository

The Duke IGSP Biospecimen Repository is a standardized, regulatory-compliant and privacy protected repository for fluid and tissue biospecimens, enabling Duke scientists to reduce costs and risks associated with alternative biobanking practices.Visit site
