Genomics & Technology Core (GTC)

Dr. Talkowski directs the Genomics and Technology Core (GTC) of MGH, which offers molecular and computational genomics services for scientific collaborations relevant to the overall mission of the research program. A list of routine services is provided below, though the GTC capabilities include an array of additional applications. Pricing is based on project size and effort, and the overall core is cost-neutral. Please contact the GTC with interest in getting a project quote at CGMGTC@mgh.harvard.edu.
