High-Throughput Polymorphism Detection Core
Co-Leaders: Immaculata De Vivo, David Kwiatkowski
Location: 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, NRB 164, Boston

 

Core Summary:

The High-Throughput Polymorphism Detection Core provides services to investigators who
are conducting molecular analyses of germline and somatic DNA collected as part of cancer-
focused investigations. This Core provides high-throughput assays of specific gene mutations
and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in situations where previously defined specific
nucleotide alterations are of interest.
