New Submission System
The GTAC@MGI has launched a new online submission system for Service Requests for Illumina sequencing, library prep, and sample QC services. Please Register for an account using your institutional email address as your Username and complete new requests here.
Please NOTE that the platform for our legacy GTAC online submission system will no longer be supported by WashU IT; therefore, user access to this system will not be possible after 12/15/22. If you want to keep a copy of any service requests made to the GTAC with this system, please login prior to 12/15/22 to download or save a copy of any requests here. If you encounter login issues, please reach out to Toni Sinnwell [sinnwellt@wustl.edu] and Jen Doias [jdoias@wustl.edu] to request assistance.

What Our Collaborators Say
Our research program has benefited tremendously from support we have had from the GTAC. This has included both a wide range of technical services, including quality assessments, library preparation, and sequencing of samples from RNA- and ChIP-Seq experiments, as well as collaborative data analysis support, which, together, has directly contributed in substantive ways to the publications listed below, presentations at national meetings, and ongoing collaborative projects. We are very grateful for and intend to continue utilizing these exceptional resources which have accelerated the advancement of our research program.
Publications That Demonstrate GTAC@MGI’s Service Options

David Rudnick
My experience in dealing with GTAC was extremely gratifying. I was able to discuss the study design ahead of time so that I had a sufficient sample size to address my scientific questions. GTAC also helped me work through the best way to analyze and present the large data sets in a simplified format that facilitated my ability to effectively communicate our findings to the scientific community.

Breaking Technology
Smart-Seq2
As single-cell exploration continues to evolve GTAC@MGI highlights a possible future option. SMART-seq2 allows for accurate transcriptome analysis from a single cell. This process grants the ability for full-length RNA-seq to be reviewed from a single cell. To further understand the process check out the paper, “Full-length RNA-seq from single cells using Smart-seq2”.
