Can the UM DNA Sequencing Core perform shotgun sequencing?

The University of Michigan does not at this time offer a shotgun sequencing service.

We can, however, help you in certain aspects of the procedure, if you want.

Here are your options:
  1. Send the sequencing job to a company that can do complete shotgun projects.

    Talk to the Core Director (Dr. Robert Lyons) regarding suggested companies that may be able to help you.

  2. Get the shotgun library and DNA preps done elsewhere, then have the Core do the actual sequencing.

    Several groups have done this, and it works well. Again, talk to the Core Director (Dr. Robert Lyons) for suggestions.

  3. IF YOU THINK THE UM CORE SHOULD DEVELOP THE CAPABILITY TO PERFORM SHOTGUN SEQUENCING, EMAIL THE CORE DIRECTOR WITH YOUR COMMENT

Please direct any questions of comments to Dr. Robert Lyons, Director of the DNA Sequencing Core.
