The DNA Sequencing and Tissue Culture support cores provide specialized and widely utilized scientific procedures and services which facilitate research projects in the Vollum. They operate on a fee-for-service basis with charges designed to recover the cost of staff time and materials. An Illustrations core is available for assistance with manuscripts, presentations, and posters, and to provide support for graphics software.
