The MCIC is a shared technology laboratory located at the Ohio State University, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) in Wooster (OH). We house equipment and provide services in microscopy (light, confocal, transmission and scanning electron microscopy), and in the area of genomics and molecular biology (small scale sequencing, genotyping, massive parallel sequencing). Our mission is to support research at the Ohio State University. The facility is also available to other research and educational institutions.
Facility news and notices
- New DNA extraction and PCR set up methods available for use with the Biomek3000 liquid handling robot. ....read more.
- We are now running the Illumina Solexa Genome Analyzer II. This system has the paired-end-reads upgrade and is capable of reading up to 50 bases of each ond of a DNA fragment. One full 3 day run produces 1 billion bases. Applications include re-sequencing (example: SNP detection by comparison to a reference genome), microRNA sequencing, RNA expression analysis and eventually small genome de-novo sequencing. We are accepting sequencing projects. ....read more.
