DNA sequencing is run as a service. Laboratories may submit samples along with the sequencing request form. Sequencing reactions are usually run in our lab. However, we will run, at reduced cost, sequencing reactions — run in other laboratories. We will purify the reactions before running. We maintain a stock of common plasmid primers accessible on the sequencing form. We use an Applied Biosystems 3730 capillary sequencer. Read lengths are routinely 800–900bp. Turnaround time is 24–48 hours. We can also perform plasmid or pcr purifications in conjunction with sequencing.
