QB3 Genomics is a partnership between the Vincent J. Coates Genomics Sequencing Lab ( GSL – B206 Stanley Hall), the Functional Genomics Laboratory (FGL – 255 Weill Hall, formerly LSA), and the Computational Genomics Resources Facility (CGRL – 238 Koshland Hall). QB3 Genomics’ mission is to make genomics research tractable and affordable to UC Berkeley and the greater genomics community.

The High-Throughput Screening Facility (HTSF), located in the Li Ka Shing Center, provides access to cell culturing space, automated liquid handling, automated plate reader and high-throughput, high-content microscopy instrumentation for screening experiments, along with tools for analysis and data visualization.

Serves all UC affiliated laboratories, academic institutions, government agencies and commercial businesses – providing Sanger sequencing, genotyping, high-throughput nucleic acid purification/quantification, PCR reaction cleanup, PCR products size selection, human cell line authentication, stem cell validation, and free (and paid) consultation services. Open access (for a fee) instruments include: Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch Real Time PCR System, Bio-Rad QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System, and an Agilent Technologies TapeStation 4200.
