Mission Statement

The DNA Sequencing Facility is a non-profit serving The University of Texas at Austin research community.  Our services and instruments are as comprehensive and accessible as possible to increase faculty, staff, and student research productivity. 

Objectives

While sustaining our characteristic high-throughput and fast-turnaround, the current objectives of the DSF are outreach and education. As opposed to being an anonymous service, we aim to engage and build relationships with faculty, staff, and students who can benefit from our expertise.  We seek to achieve this by providing superior customer service, specific to client needs, as follows:

• Expand accessibility and implement Sanger innovations that benefit our highly-experienced, high-volume mega-users
  
• Improve technical and educational resources for researchers needing quick and reliable Sanger results
  
• Offer personalized assistance for customers sequencing difficult templates
• Offer custom services for UT researchers with unique needs, such as CRISPR sequencing or SNP analysis
  

Facility Affiliation

The DSF is no longer affiliated with the Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology (ICMB).  Our new hierarchy:

Facility Affiliation

• GSAF Sanger Facility
• Genomic Sequencing and Analysis CoreFacility
• Center for Biomedical Research Support
• College of Natural Sciences
• The University of Texas at Austin
