The Millard and Muriel Jacobs Genetics and Genomics Laboratory, in the Division of Biology, provides genomic research tools to Caltech scientists, with an emphasis on high throughput sequencing. The Laboratory is equipped with the necessary experimental and bioinformatics infrastructure to generate, store, and analyze large-scale datasets from Illumina NextSeq2000 high throughput sequencer and from the Oxford Nanopore MinION platform. Shared equipment hosted at MMJGGL is accessible to the Caltech community. MMJGGL is located in the Kerckhoff Laboratory building, rooms 102-108.
The Laboratory is directed by Dr. Igor Antoshechkin. Professor Barbara Wold is the faculty advisor for MMJGGL.
The Laboratory is supported by the Muriel and Millard Jacobs Fund for Genomics and Genetic Technology and the Millard and Muriel Jacobs Family Foundation. For information on how to cite work performed by the Laboratory, see Policies.
