The MCIC is a shared technology laboratory located at the Ohio State University, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) in Wooster (OH). We house equipment and provide services in microscopy (light, confocal, transmission and scanning electron microscopy), and in the area of genomics and molecular biology (small scale sequencing, genotyping, massive parallele sequencing). Our mission is to support research at the Ohio State University. The facility is also available to other research and educational institutions.
Facility news and notices
- New DNA extraction and PCR set up methods available for use with the Biomek3000 liquid handling robot. ....read more.
- The Illumina Solexa Genome Analyzer will be soon installed at the facility. Our system will have the pair-end-reads upgrade and will be capable of reading up to 60 bases per fragment. One 3 day run produces 1 billion bases. Applications include re-sequencing (example: SNP detection by comparison to a reference genome), microRNA sequencing, RNA expression analysis and eventually small genome de-novo sequencing. We will start accepting whole genome sequencing projects beginning January 2008. ....read more.
