Institutional Research Core Facility – Illumina now has a Single Cell Solution

The Institution Research Core Facility is offering a Core Lab Grant. We will be offering library preparation free of charge for 4-8 samples. The targeted cell number for this particular kit will be 2,000 cells. Winners may be asked to pay for the sequencing charges, but we are still working to possibly offer that for free as well. Winners will also be asked to do the cell washes before submitting to the Core. Free basic bioinformatics will be included.

Please submit your short abstract to: Jenny-Gipson@ouhsc.edu by June 30th. Once the winners are chosen, we will loop in our Illumina specialist to make sure we have success with your specific cell types.  See attached flyer for additional information.

WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS

The Single Cell RNA Sequencing Workshopis a free, in-person, hands-on course held December 9–12, 2025, at the Inasmuch Foundation Atrium in the Bird Library. It will teach participants how to perform single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, including data alignment, visualization (UMAPs, heatmaps, volcano plots), and advanced analyses like ligand-receptor interactions, pathway, and pseudo time. The workshop uses bash and R and requires attendance at all three full-day sessions. Data will be provided. Around 20 applicants will be accepted; applications are due by July 31, 2025, with decisions sent by August 15. Full details and requirements are in the flyer.
