Cellular Genomics and Imaging Core CGI
About the Core
The Cellular Genomics and Imaging (CGI) Core is a fee-for-service core facility established in 2017 in the Jacobs Science Building. The Center provides both unique microscopy instrumentation and expertise not available elsewhere on campus, as well as single-cell and spatial transcriptomics and multiomics services. We offer specialized imaging instruments to permit the observation of live animals, tissues, or cells over time. Technical expertise to train and assist users is provided by a full-time manager with extensive experience in biological imaging.
The core provides single-cell and spatial transcriptomics services using the 10x Genomics platforms. CGI staff have performed these analyses on hundreds of samples from researchers at UK and off campus. We receive ongoing training directly from 10x Genomics applications specialists to provide the latest services for transcriptomics and multiomics solutions.
CGI is supported by the Office of the Vice President for Research. If you have questions about the core, available instruments, transcriptomics services offered or would like to arrange a free consultation to discuss your research applications, please submit a web contact form.
