GGBC REOPENING PLAN… click here

eashwort on June 10, 2020

Following UGA guidelines for Phase 1 of reopening, the GGBC will resume its operation next Monday 6/15. As you can imagine, there are over 60 projects in our system that we will resume working on them first. Please expect some delay as we work our way through these projects.

Our new rules are as following:

  1. No in-person communications with any of the GGBC team members. Calls, emails, and zoom meetings only.
  2. ONLY GGBC members are allowed in the labs and offices. This means:
  1. No scheduled usage of GGBC instruments. Customers who use some of GGBC instruments must submit orders and let the GGBC team do the work for them.
  2. Samples MUST be placed in the refrigerator located by the door of RM# 156 in the Riverbend North building.
  1. This is the ONLY drop off location.
  2. Masks must be worn when delivering samples.
  3. Gloves and 70% Alcohol are located by the refrigerator for them to use.
  4. After placing the samples, No NEED for any interactions with the team.
  5. Customers who are shipping samples to GGBC via mail couriers, must Not require signatures. We will email you when we receive the samples.

Thank you for your cooperation,

The GGBC team.

PacBio Sequel-II sequencer

jennbryant on September 6, 2019

Dear GGBC Users & Friends,

We are pleased to inform you that GGBC now has an operational PacBio Sequel-II sequencer!

Sequel System: high-throughput, cost-effective access to SMRT Sequencing                                                                                          

The Sequel System is based on Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT)
technology and is ideal for rapidly and cost-effectively generating high-quality PacBio whole genome de novo assemblies and full-length transcriptomes.
At GGBC, we provide all Sequel based services, from library prep and sequencing to data analysis.

With a much lower cost per base, the Sequel II system offers the following:

  • Generates ~8-times more data than the original Sequel System  (80Gbp +/- 20%)
  • Provides access to even more highly accurate long reads (HiFi Reads)
  • Reduces project time for faster results
  • Makes sequencing more affordable
  • Supports the range of SMRT Sequencing applications

All UGA account holders must now submit a valid SpeedType or ChartString when placing an order.  The ChartFields within the ChartString must be delimited with periods. The ChartString must include the following Five ChartFields in order:

FundCode.Department.ProgramCode.ClassCode.BudgetRef

Optionally, the following three ChartFields (Project.Unit.Activity) as exemplified here, can also be added to the ChartString:

FundCode.Department.ProgramCode.ClassCode.BudgetRef.Project.Unit.Activity

Due to the University of Georgia updating to the PeopleSoft management system, all UGA account holders must now submit a valid SpeedType or ChartString when placing a GGBC order. PayAliases provide an easy way to specify the SpeedType/ChartString to pay for your requested services at GGBC.

Please remember to update any PayAliases you may already be using with the new SpeedType/ChartString. Feel free to go to your Lab page in the GGBC portal and set PayAliases up for your researchers to use. Please call (706) 542-6409 with any questions about this feature.
