Laboratory Training

The CGI holds hands-on, laboratory training for many applications, supported by the Center equipment and staff, including but not limited to NextGen sequencing and Affymetrix genotyping. Individuals (students, faculty and staff) across all UConn campuses are eligible to participate in CGI sponsored training. All training fees go directly toward instrument maintenance, service contracts and reagents/consumables for training. Participants can bring a sample of their own for training if desired, allowing for participant data collection that can be used as proof of principle or preliminary data for grant submissions, etc. Trainings are offered throughout the year based on demand for specific instrumentation and will be advertised via email announcement and on the CGI website. Topics covered include Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA library preparation, qPCR quantitation, Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencing and high level bioinformatics/run performance analysis. Please be sure to subscribe to the CGI ListServ if you would like to receive notifications of future trainings. CGI ListServ Registration.

If you have questions or would like more information about any of the services provided by the CGI, including quotes, experimental budgets for large sample sizes, personalized training or inquiries on workflows that are not listed in our service portfolio, contact Bo Reese.

(*) = External Rates: If a service center provides services to individuals or organizations outside of the University, the billing rates must include institutional indirect costs even though these costs are not included in the rates for internal University users. The FY16-17 rate adds an additional 58% to billable services.
