Donnelly Centre labs and platforms support technology development and research projects in functional genomics and systems biology.
The Donnelly Centre for Cellular + Biomolecular Research is home to the Donnelly Sequencing Centre (DSC).
This sequencing centre is a full-service Illumina CSPro-certified next generation sequencing provider. In operation since 2010, the DSC has provided high-quality sequencing data for hundreds of researchers and has undertaken a number of technology development projects for specialized applications. The facility houses:
1) The GenNet platform in the Andrews/Boone labs, the only laboratory in the world that performs genome-wide screens for genetic interactions in budding yeast analyzed using a robust computational pipeline.
2) The Phenogenomics platform which includes capacity for high through-put image acquisition and analysis using in-house machine learning computational approaches.
