ChIP-Seq
Service Description
ChIP-Seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing) allows for genome-wide mapping of DNA binding proteins and histone modifications. It is primarily used to determine how proteins influence the mechanisms that cause phenotypic appearance. The advantage of ChIP-Seq over other assays is that ChIP-Seq does not require prior knowledge of the epigenome.
Submission
For this service, researchers are responsible for submitting properly fragmented and immunoprecipitated DNA for library preparation to be completed. ChIP-Seq can be run on our Illumina NovaSeq or MiSeq.
Getting Started
To discuss a project or acquire a quote, please contact us! For new clients, please set up an account (see New Lab or Customer Access below). All projects must be discussed before samples are submitted.
If you would like to initiate a project or get more information, please use the following contact information, and a member of our group will get in touch with you directly.
Next Generation Sequencing: nextgen-seq@biotech.wisc.edu
New Lab or Customer Access
We MUST have this information before we can proceed with your request.
Adding a new lab:
-
- Name, address, phone number, UW NetID and email of the Principal Investigator (PI) or Primary scientific contact person.
- Name, address, phone number, FAX number and email of he financial contact person.
- Name, UW NetID, phone number and email of all individuals who will be using our service.
- Payment information: For campus users this should be a direct charge number, e.g. a 144 or 133 prefixed account (please send the whole string of characters). For off campus users you can set up a PO or we can send the financial contact person a bill — your choice. Non-UW system users are charged an additional institutional overhead.
Adding a member to an existing lab:
-
- Name of the PI whose lab you are joining.
- Your name, UW NetID, phone number and email.
Sample Submission
Please contact nextgen-seq@biotech.wisc.edu to arrange all sample submissions. Samples and submission forms must be submitted before a project can be entered into our queue.
Submission Forms and Guidelines
Please check the service page guidelines for specific Submission Forms and Guidelines that need to be included with your samples.
Submitting Samples/ Shipping Instructions
After setting up a customer account, filling out submission form, and reviewing submission guidelines, you can now submit or send samples. *We require customers to submit electronic Submission Forms!*
In Person Submission
Please give advance notice of submission date and time so staff can be prepared to receive samples. Schedule a time for drop off with a staff member at nextgen-seq@biotech.wisc.edu
Shipping Submission
Please send the tracking information to:
Next Generation Sequencing: nextgen-seq@biotech.wisc.edu
*Samples that are being shipped must have a hard copy of the submission form and guidelines in the package! This way we know what the samples are and where they are from.*
If shipping samples from outside UWBC, ship via express shipping carrier on dry ice to the address below:

Library Preparation Pricing
NovaSeq X Plus Pricing
Effective 8/1/23
* M=million. This is targeted number of reads. Actual read counts may vary ±20% from targeted amounts. |
** B=billion. Read specifications based on Illumina PhiX control library. Output may vary based on library type. |
Illumina pricing is broken into two components: library preparation and run cost. Library preparation is charged on a per sample basis and varies by type. Run charges are based on the length of the sequencing run and whether it is single or paired end. Prices are subject to change due to increasing reagent costs.
Unless otherwise specified, all data and reagents distributed by the University of Wisconsin Biotechnology Center DNA Sequencing Facility are intended for research purposes only. They are not intended nor certified for diagnostic or clinical use. Clinical services are provided through our collaboration with the UW Collaborative Genomics Core.
