Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR)

The Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR)'s  mission is to support the genetics community by providing high-quality, cutting-edge genomics services and technologies in order to expand our understanding of disease and catalyze discoveries that translate to patient care.  All NIH CIDR Program studies are supported by data sharing assistance. GWAS and sequencing studies are additionally provided both data cleaning services. GWAS studies include imputation services.

Established Technologies

• SNP Genotyping
• Using Illumina Infinium chemistries and Affymetrix Axiom chemistry, investigators have a wealth of genotyping study design options available to them. We currently offer production scale linkage, GWAS and custom SNP genotyping services which utilize LIMS tracking, robotic automation and strict QC standards.
• Sequencing
• We currently offer production scale whole genome, whole exome and custom targeted sequencing services which utilize LIMS tracking, robotic automation, strict QC standards and automated primary, secondary and tertiary analyses.
