The MCIC acquired the Bio-Rad QX200 Droplet Digital PCR system.
Digital PCR (dPCR) is quickly becoming the go-to complementary technology to the traditional real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Both, qPCR and dPCR provide sensitive and robust detection and quantitation of nucleic acids using fluorescence, and each one of these methods has distinct advantage. ......

OSU Code Club will restart for the '21 fall semester on August 26th! We meet every Thursday at 3 pm and will be covering R this semester.
Code Club is a regularly occurring, interactive, online gathering to improve coding skills. We aim for a supportive and fun culture of learning together, and hope to offer something to participants at any experience level.
For more information and to sign up, please see the Code Club website.

We now offer a low cost high throughput (HT) genomic DNA library preparation protocol ideal for lowpass whole genome sequencing for genotyping purposes, whole small genomes sequencing, scRNA-seq, metagome and microbial sequencing. The Seqwell plexWell technology protocol employs transposase fragmentation and barecode tagging of the genomic DNA and produces a balanced, normalized pool of libraries. ........

The MCIC was awarded a CGIAR Borlaug fellowship to host and provide training to Myriam Izzarra from the International Potato Center (CIP), in Lima Peru. The aim of her project was to characterize the genetic variation in P. infestans populations from different Peruvian regions/environments and potato hosts using high trhroughput sequencing methodologies.
