Comments
The Huck Institute at Penn State provides a vast array of research services. Very quick service for less than 10 Kb DNA – if you submit by 9am, your sequence will be ready by 5pm. The facility does not provide data analysis but the Bioinformatics Consulting Center offers data analysis service.
