NEW RATE SCHEDULE
The new rates for July 2009 through June 2010 are now posted. To view go to "Rates and Schedules". Some schedule numbers have changed and new ones have been added. Off-campus clients will no longer be charged a surcharge. If you have questions or need help please contact me at abbe.kesterson@uky.edu

454 SEQUENCING
AGTC is now offering Titanium shot gun sequencing and Titanium paired end sequencing on the Roche GS FLX genome sequencer. The new Titanium chemistry can generate over one million reads with an average length of 350 to 400 base pairs in one run. For assembly, shot gun data can be combined with paired end data and Sanger data. If you have a 454 project or are submitting a proposal for 454 sequencing please contact AGTC at agtc-support@lsv.uky.edu

Introduction and Mission

The University of Kentucky Advanced Genetic Technologies Center provides a key element in the vision of UK as a Top 20 research institution and a center of excellence in molecular biosciences. UK-AGTC is a DNA sequencing service center/core facility specializing in high-throughput genetic analysis with a strong emphasis on customer service and bioinformatics support. This Service Center complements other new campus facilities devoted to transcriptomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and structural biology and serves research clients both on and off campus. AGTC has the potential to enhance the visibility of UK in the modern genomics world while providing a nucleus to integrate biological research entities throughout the institution itself, thus reducing the University's need for outsourcing.

The initiation of the UK-AGTC at the University of Kentucky was made possible by Senator Mitch McConnell through USDA-CSREES funds earmarked for the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. The UK-AGTC has also benefited from strong support from the Commonwealth of Kentucky and additionally has leveraged approximately $16,000,000 in external grant support.
