Data Retention Policy

AZGC will share project data with users via iLab Operations upon service completion. In the case of Next-Gen Sequencing data and Single Cell data, AZGC will transfer ownership to researchers using Cyverse, Globus or provide a physical hard drive containing your data. Once Next-Gen data ownership is accepted electronically or by accepting a physical data drive, AZGC will no longer possess a copy of this data.

Researchers are responsible for downloading and backing up data generated by our core. AZGC is not responsible for the retention of data beyond three months from the date of data generation.

All data generated using AZGC services will be shared with only the requesting researcher and their PI.  The data will not be presented without permission from the researchers.

Policy

Material Retention Policy

The Arizona Genetics Core will keep project materials on-hand for 3 months after data is returned / project is completed. After 3 months, all samples and materials will be disposed of in keeping with our SOPs. If you would like to receive your materials back from us please arrange with Arizona Genetics Core during the project planning stages. If you have questions about this policy please contact our facility.

Policy

Sample Intake Policy

All samples provided to the Arizona Genetics Core (the facility) must be collected and transmitted in compliance with all applicable State, Federal, and Tribal laws, statutes, regulations, and rules. It is the responsibility of the submitting party to ensure all samples satisfy this requirement and by submitting work requests and related samples to the facility the submitter warrants that the collection and transmittal of all samples are in compliance with any applicable laws, statutes, regulations, and rules. If at any time, the facility learns that any sample is not in compliance with the above it reserves the right to discontinue any further work on said sample.

RII Core Facilities Pilot Program - May 3, 2023 Deadline

Date of publication

The RII Core Facilities Pilot Program is designed to support three key types of activity within the RII-managed core facilities. Each CFPP proposal will be evaluated on scientific merit and feasibility, and should focus on one or more of the following activity types:

  1. The development of new methods or techniques that would extend the standard operating procedures and capabilities of RII-managed core facilities and potentially impact multiple UA researchers.
  2. The acquisition of preliminary data needed for extramural proposals. Successful projects will result in at least one new extramural research proposal.
  3. The technical training of students conducting research under existing extramural funding. Proposals to train students from traditionally marginalized groups will be given funding priority.

Most awards will be capped at approximately $10,000, although well-justified projects may be awarded funding above this level. It is required that CFPP proposals and their budgets be developed with the assistance of the relevant core facility manager(s). Proposals are due May 3, 2023 by 5pm. List of eligible facilities:

  1. Analytical and Biological Mass Spectrometry
  2. Flow Cytometry and Human Immune Monitoring Shared Resource (BD LSR, BD, FACSARIA, BD Canto)
  3. Functional Genomics Core
  4. Imaging Cores - Electron
  5. Imaging Cores - Optical
  6. Machining and Welding Center
  7. Micro/Nano Fabrication Center
  8. Translational Bioimaging Resource
  9. University of Arizona Genetics Core
  10. BIO5 Genetically Engineered Mouse Models (GEMM) Core
  11. Arizona Genomics Institute

Procedure

Taqman SNP Genotyping

Taqman SNP Genotyping is a robust and economical method to type a small number of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, SNPs across a study population. This is appropriate for a few samples or several thousand.

General Information


Sample Input

Genomic DNA - Normalized to 5ng/µL

Users must provide their own SNP assays or we can order the assay and bill assay supplies to your project. AZGC does not stock Taqman Assays.

Expected Results

Results table listing the sample genotype detected at each polymorphic site.

Details


Sample Preparation Details

Sample input is gDNA normalized to 5ng/µL. We can receive your samples in 1.5-2.0mL tubes but we prefer 96-well plates. Samples which do not meet our input requirements will be subject to additional handling fees. Please contact our lab if you have questions about sample preparation.

Price

Academic (UA) $5.00 | Academic (non-UA): $6.00 | Industry: $7.50
Unit: Sample well

Quick and Easy DNA Extraction

AZGC offers a 'Quick and Easy' DNA extraction as a low-cost option for certain sample types.

General Information


Sample Input

We provide you bar-coded tubes with buffer, add your sample and return to AZGC

Expected Results

Genomic DNA suitable for downstream testing in transgenic mouse assays or other robust screening assays.

Details


Sample Preparation Details

For mouse genotyping add 2-4mm of tail tip tissue directly to the buffer in the provided tubes. Seal tightly and return to AZGC.
