Core D: Molecular Genetics

(NIH Grant number: P30DK079328)

Director:    Jonathan Cohen, Ph.D.

The overall objective of the Molecular Genetics Core is to provide participating (established and new) renal investigators with a comprehensive suite of services that will allow them to apply the tools of molecular genetics to the study of kidney physiology and diseases.  The primary focus is to facilitate molecular genetic studies in humans.  In addition, the core will provide general molecular biology services such as DNA sequencing and microarray analysis.

Services:

1. Acquisition, processing and storage of blood samples from study subjects.
2. Isolation of genomic DNA.
3. Immortalization of lymphocytes.
4. DNA sequencing.
5. Genotyping.
6. Expression microarray analysis.
7. SNP microarray analysis.
8. Array comparative genomic hybridization CGH.
