The Core makes virus on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The Core uses envelope plasmids encoding VSVG. VSV-G is suitable for experiments involving widespread infection of cells because its phospholipid receptor is universally expressed in mammalian cells and thus has a relatively broad tropism.

While a broad tropism may be suitable for some experiments, others may require higher specificity for infection. The Core is here to advise and provide the resources for your specific needs.

For gene names, we accept standard nomenclature as outlined by the HGNC. Click here for more information.

Human genes and protein-encoding genes should be named in the format ABCD#, where ABCD is unique to the genes and, for protein-coding genes, describes their function. For example, the gene name for p53 is TP53.

Samples are processed in the order in which they are received. Expected turnaround times are 3-5 days for standard and 96-well preps and 5-7 days for mega preps.

Depending on order volume, orders may take up to a week to be completed.
