Genomics Core

Genomics Core – Advanced Research Infrastructure

The UNT Health Genomics Core provides comprehensive support for high-throughput sequencing and computational genomics, enabling rigorous and reproducible research across diverse biological systems.

 

Research Applications

  • Short-read sequencing for genome and transcriptome analysis
  • Long-read sequencing for structural variation and complex assemblies
  • Spatial transcriptomics for tissue-level gene expression mapping
  • Single-cell sequencing for cellular heterogeneity studies

Instrumentation

  • Illumina NextSeq 2000 – High-throughput short-read sequencing
  • PacBio Vega – Long-read sequencing for high-fidelity assemblies
  • 10x Genomics Chromium X – Single-cell and multi-omics workflows
  • Visium CytAssist – Spatial transcriptomics platform
  • Agilent TapeStation 4200 – Nucleic acid quality assessment
  • Bio-Rad qPCR system and Digital PCR platform – Quantitative analysis

Our facility is committed to supporting investigators through all stages of the workflow — from sample preparation to sequencing and data interpretation — ensuring high-quality results for publications and grant-funded projects.
