## Abstract

MOLECULAR ANALYSIS / TRANSLATION RESEARCH GROUP
COMPREHENSIVE GENOMICS SHARED FACILITY (CGSF)
ABSTRACT
The goal of the Comprehensive Genomics Shared Facility (CGSF) is to provide Cancer Center investigators
access to cutting-edge genomic resources and methodologies designed to facilitate and strengthen the quality
of genetic, genomic, and molecular studies in cancer related research. The Comprehensive Genomics Shared
Facility accomplishes this goal through two interrelated components: the on campus UAB Next-Generation and
Sanger Sequencing (NGSS) arm, and the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology (HAIB) Next-Generation
and Clinical Sequencing arm. This arrangement provides UAB Cancer Center members unprecedented
access to state-of-the-art technologies for genetic and genomic analysis for basic research and clinical studies.
Each component brings valuable resources to center members. The NGSS provides onsite consultation and
service for various projects that require different types of genomic technologies. These include standard
Sanger sequencing, human cell line identification (including cancer cell lines), SNP genotyping assays and
Next-Generation Sequencing services (RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, microRNA-Seq, Exome-Seq, Custom amplicons,
Microbiome, Metagenomics, and mitochondrial sequencing). The HAIB component offers very high throughput
services for production-level whole genome sequencing and support for development and routine processing
of clinical samples that require or benefit from a CLIA environment. The CGSF supports basic researchers
investigating the mechanisms of cancer development, progression and metastasis as well as clinical
researchers pursuing precision medicine approaches and provides the tools they need to efficiently and
effectively contribute significant findings to the field of cancer research.
