Genetics is inherently difficult. Be prepared for failure if you are just starting because it takes time to learn the subtleties of genetic procedures, optimization, and troubleshooting of primer-template combinations. There are no hard and fast rules when dealing with new primer-template because reaction conditions are affected by the unique thermal biochemistry. Please take the time to read through some of these pages, as there are tips that might help you in readying your samples for sequencing.

Our genetics facilities offers a multitude of professional analytical and training services. Upon request UNBC's molecular genetics support specialist will execute the research and answer questions regarding your genetic problems. Our specialist can perform the analysis for you, run user-prepared reactions, or simply provide training and support for researchers, undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students.

Planning ahead will improve your project and save lots of time on your laboratory work. If your are unfamiliar with the technical aspects of genetics you might wish to make an appointment with UNBCs molecular specialist.
