About
The Georgia Genomics and Bioinformatics Core (GGBC) is the University of Georgia (UGA) core laboratory for nucleic acid sequencing and bioinformatics. Our mission includes research support, education, and training. Our services are available to university and industry researchers.
Our services encompass the range of genomic techniques and applications, sequencing technologies, and bioinformatics analyses. GGBC operates multiple platforms for short-, long-, and single-molecule sequencing reads (i.e., Illumina MiSeq and NextSeq, PacBio Sequel, and Oxford Nanopore MinIon). We also write letters of support (LOS) to offer our capabilities and expertise for grant applications submitted to funding agencies.

Completion of the @icdpDrilling DIVE project workshop. Many ideas for interdisciplinary collaborations, science to tackle in the next two years, and planning for DIVE Phase 2. My plan aims to bring DIVE 2 to the attention of @gsa_csdd @NSF @universityofga @UGAResearch
A new study from @PublicHealthUGA reveals that 1 in 5 U.S. farmers turn to binge drinking under high stress. Faced with barriers to care, many find alcohol to be a more acceptable coping mechanism than seeking mental health support.
