Emory Integrated Genomics Core
The Emory Integrated Genomics Core is a full-service genomics facility offering Emory researchers the ability to use the latest platforms and technologies in their research.
Overview
The goal of the Emory Integrated Genomics Core (EIGC) is to create a top-tier genomics resource that is widely available to the Emory research community.
Service offerings include DNA/RNA extractions, cell line identification, single cell library preparation, Illumina sequencing, structural variation discovery via physical mapping with the Bionano Saphyr platform, epigenetics services, targeted gene expression panels, high density microarray services, and custom cloning services. The EIGC maintains a current Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) license to support specific genomics assays and clinical trials support.
The Emory Integrated Genomics Core is jointly managed by Winship Cancer Institute and Emory University School of Medicine. It is subsidized by the Emory University School of Medicine and is one of the Emory Integrated Core Facilities.
Publication Acknowledgement Policy
The National Cancer Institute requires that publications acknowledge the Winship Cancer Institute Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG), and it is tracking compliance. If a Winship Cancer Institute CCSG-supported Shared Resource provided data, designed the study, performed analyses, provided results used in your publication, and/or provided any systems or services that were used for the work that resulted in your publication, please include the following statement in the acknowledgment section of your publication(s):
Research reported in this publication was supported in part by the Emory Integrated Genomics Core (EIGC) shared resource of Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University and NIH/NCI under award number P30CA138292.
