The Nucleic Acids Core Facility (NACF) provides investigators with low-cost, high-quality oligonucleotides for use in a wide range of applications including DNA sequencing, PCR, cDNA/RNA synthesis, hybridization, in vitro mutagenesis and anti-sense inhibition of gene expression.
The Human Behavioral Phenotyping Laboratory of the Behavioral Measurement Core provides laboratory space, equipment and technical assistance for the observation and measurement of human behavior in structured and unstructured contexts.
The Mouse Cardiovascular Models Core Facility within the UNC McAllister Heart Institute was established in spring of 2003. It was designed as a central animal physiology and experimental surgical laboratory to serve a variety of investigators encompassing various fields of medicine and biology, particularly those with an interest in cardiovascular disease.
Levels of locomotion and rearing are measured using an automated activity system (VersaMax System, AccuScan Instruments). These data can be used to quantitate hyper- or hypo- activity in experimental groups, and to detect aberrant exploration and habituation in a novel environment.
The mission of the Microbiome Core Facility is to provide the research community of the UNC- School of Medicine and the state of North Carolina with the facilities and the know-how to characterize complex microbial communities in a variety of environments.
The Mission of the UNC Proteomics Core Facility is to provide UNC investigators with state-of-the-art scientific and technical support in modern proteomics.
The MGC provides SNP genotyping, CNV analysis, and Methylation analysis.
The central goal of the UNC Crystallography Core Facility is to provide the support and infrastructure necessary to enable individual investigators of any experience level to initiate and successfully complete a structural biology project.
The Mac-In-Fac is a core biophysical laboratory of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It provides instrumentation and resources for biophysical characterization of interactions of biological macromolecules.
The Genomics core serves to measure concentration and check quality for RNA/DNA samples, process samples for Agilent Microarrays, and prepare mRNA libraries for High Throughput Sequencing. The Bioinformatics core offers all stages of microarray analysis, helps with experimental design, and assists with analysis of data including generation of gene list and cluster analysis.
