Cancer Crusaders Next Generation Sequence Analysis Core |
||
The Tulane Cancer Crusaders Next Generation Sequence Analysis Core provides a robust infrastructure of hardware, software and expertise to support a highly interactive approach for the next generation sequence analysis needs of investigators in the Tulane community as well as other investigators throughout the world. Through encouraging active investigator participation with guided one-on-one training and/or a service model, we are able to facilitate maximal data value with minimal overhead. There are currently no charges for services but we ask that you at least acknowledge support from the Tulane Cancer Center Cancer Crusaders Next Generation Sequence Analysis Core. |
