DNA Analysis Facility on Science Hill at Yale University

The DNA Analysis Facility was founded in 2003 to serve the diverse needs of molecular biologists. We offer dye-terminator sequencing and fragment analysis using capillary electrophoresis technology. We offer our services to Yale affiliates, private companies, academic labs and researchers from the broader scientific community. Our Facility is equipped with an Applied Biosystems 3730, 48-Capillary, Genetic Analyzer. We run a variety of applications including: DNA Sequencing, Fragment Analysis of microsatellites and AFLP's and unique techniques utilizing capillary electrophoresis technologies.

Our staff has applied knowledge spanning many years in a variety of molecular techniques. We are located within the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies Molecular Systematics and Conservation Genetics Laboratory, under the direction of Dr. Gisella Caccone. Our equipment includes an AB 3730 DNA Genetic Analyzer with 48-capillaries, an epmotion Liquid Handler, multiple Thermal Cyclers, the Finch-Laboratory Information Management System by Geospiza, Inc., as well as other support equipment; all purchased with funds from an NSF Multi-User Equipment and Instrumentation Grant (NSF 98-137).
