Biogem

the biomedical genomics laboratory (biogem) is a genomics facility located in the department of medicine at ucsd. (biogem) was established in 2000 to provide spotted cdna microarray technology to the ucsd research community. since then the scope has been expanded to include a variety of related services and resources, including several commercial microarray platforms and second (next-gen) generation sequencing technology. currently biogem provides rna sample analysis and quantification services. additionally biogem processes commercial array platforms including illumina and agilent. presently biogem has 3 illumina 1g analyzer instruments and supports a variety of sequencing assays including dna-sequencing, digital gene expression, small rna sequencing, chip-sequencing and bisulfite sequencing. biogem also provides image scanning and data analysis services. microarray and next-gen sequencing experimentation, data acquisition and analysis require expensive instrumentation and reagents an
