Microbiome Core at the University of Arizona Steele Children’s Research Center

The Steele Children's Research Center has recently added to its arsenal of high-powered genomic technology through the purchase of the latest whole genome sequencer. This instrument is the first of its kind at any of Arizona's universities. Supported by a wraparound team of microbiologists, technicians, and bioinformaticians, the instrument and our team are able to sequence 48 human genomes in 40 hours. The Illumina NovaSeq 6000 is the centerpiece of the new PANDA Core for Genomics and Microbiome Research.

CLIA certification is underway, which will expand the utility of the instrument by offering diagnostic whole genome sequencing to pediatricians in Arizona.

Please contact Daniel Laubitz, PhD, Director of the PANDA Core for Genomics and Microbiome Research for more information: laubitz@arizona.edu
