Bioinformatics Services

We serve bioinformatics research needs including Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis and Microarray Data Analysis, and are committed to providing the highest quality services in a timely and dependable manner.

 

Please be advised that services are provided on a fee for service basis.  We are not compensated for our activities by institutional resources, and grants that supported the Facility in the past are either no longer available or have been subject to sizable cuts.

 

Below please find a price schedule for some of the most commonly requested services.  This schedule is formulated based on actual operating costs and benchmarked against other institutional facilities to ensure that we are highly competitive.  In cases where custom activities are required, services are provided for a flat $80/hr charge; we do not charge for background or preparatory work that is not dedicated to a specific project.  We are happy to provide a rough, non-binding estimate for custom tasks on request.  Please note that membership in some Centers or Programs such as the Kansas Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center and the Cell and Developmental Biology COBRE may entitle you to partial subsidization for services.  If interested, please enquire.

 

We look forward to serving your research needs.  If you have any questions regarding these policies or prices, please contact the Facility Director, Dr. Peter Smith (psmith@kumc.edu).
