====== Services Description ======

The Southern California Genotyping Consortium (SCGC) is currently operating an Illumina BeadLab 1000 high throughput SNP genotyping system on the UCLA campus. The facility was upgraded to iScan in 2008.

The SCGC is a not for profit academic resource available to researchers in the Southern California region and beyond. Directed by Nelson Freimer (UCLA) and with management involving an oversight committee including Tony Long (UC Irvine) and Magnus Nordborg (USC), the SCGC is committed to providing equivalent access to its members at all institutions.

Services include:
  * Custom snp genotyping using the high throughput GoldenGate assay.
  * Whole genome genotyping using all currently available Infinium whole genome chips.
  * Whole genome gene expression using all currently available expression chips for Human, Mouse and Rat.
  * Whole genome methylation analysis using Methylation-27 chips.
  * Project and SNP pool design or design assistance
  * PicoGreen™ sample quantitation
  * Automated sample normalization
  * Mendel checking and data analysis assistance
