Specific Aims Genomics and Proteomics Core is a multifunctional facility with the objective of effectively providing the technical services and support required for research on genes and proteins. The Core is comprehensive since this Core provides the equipment and technical expertise to perform experiments on gene and protein expression, the computational resources for data analysis and data sharing and access to the existing literature and databases to facilitate experimental design. The specific functions of the Genomics and Proteomics Core at Meharry are: 1) to provide to the faculty, students and staff of Meharry Medical College the necessary expert personnel and equipment to provide the services of automated DNA sequencing, DNA Microarray, and real-time PCR; 2) to stock an inventory of reagents for research and facilitate the purchase of molecular biological reagents for researchers; 3) to provide technical assistance with the use of shared equipment housed in the main and satellite laboratories; 4) to increase the access to electronic information sources including electronic journals and remote databases using the capacity and speed of Internet2; 5) to provide the technical expertise, hardware and software for the analysis of genetic, molecular and DNA microarray data; and 6) to provide a program of training in genomics and proteomics for faculty, staff and students. The ultimate goal of the Genomics and Proteomics Core is to provide services needed by the research community at Meharry to increase research productivity.
