Genomics and Bioinformatics Core Facility

An Introduction to the Genomics and Bioinformatics Core Facility

The Genomics & Bioinformatics Core Facility (GBCF) at the University of Notre Dame serves a diverse research community that spans basic biomedical research in human disease, vector disease research, population genomics, and environmental genomics. Utilizing Illumina sequencing, single-cell analysis, and spatial transcriptome analysis, we offer comprehensive solutions designed to acquire data for a broad range of applications including metagenomics, cancer genomics, microbial genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics for both model and non-model systems. Applying robust bioinformatics tools and biocomputing resources, we offer guidance and analysis workflows specifically tailored to your needs.

Mission Statement

To enhance scholarship and facilitate research in the Notre Dame community by providing access to state-of-the-art genomics data, bioinformatics analysis, and training.

Services

Genomics services include project consultation, next-generation Illumina sequencing, standard and custom library construction methods, 10X single-cell sequencing, and Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis.

Bioinformatic services focus on the analysis of genomic datasets including custom software design, data management, and access to biocomputing resources.
