Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Proteomics and DNA Sequencing Core
The recombinant DNA/protein Facility functions to stimulate the competitiveness of biomolecular research activities at Oklahoma State University and throughout Oklahoma by providing access to essential advanced technologies whose availability or price might might otherwise be prohibitive to individual investigators.
To fulfill this mission, the Facility performs specialized biochemical analysis, manages a battery of multi-user equipment, provides technical expertise, and vends specialized biochemicals. The facility operates as a non-profit entity, providing its services at or below actual costs with assistance from OSU's Agricultural Experiment Station, the Office of Vice-President of Research, and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Sequencing Options
Not all templates are created equal. We have a number of methods that can reliably sequence templates from run-of-the-mill DNA to highly repetitive, high-GC, high-AT, and other difficult DNA templates.
