Leader of BAC/EST Resource Center:

Research Specialist Senior:
Wolfgang Golser
The focus of this center is to facilitate the high throughput movement of genomic resources for goal driven projects. Robotic operation and barcoding conveniently manage shotgun, EST and BAC clone projects in 384 and 96 well formats. Here, we deposit all BAC libraries that we construct as well as all cDNA libraries that we sequence. We also provide a service to the community by archiving and distributing genomic resources generated by other groups. AGI houses the majority of agriculturally important BAC libraries in the world. All prices are based on cost-to-recover.
