NBAF-Sheffield
Molecular genetics facilities and training for UK researchers
The NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility - Sheffield
The
NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility - Sheffield (NBAF-S) aims to make
state-of-the-art molecular genetics facilities and training available
to the UK community in the science areas that fall under the remit of
the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
To date, the
main call on the Facility is for the development and application of
genetic markers for use in population genetics and behavioural ecology.
The service is based on a well-proven arrangement, in which researchers
visit the laboratory to complete their own analyses under the
supervision of someone experienced in the required technology.
In
most cases, the majority of the bench work will be carried out by
visitors to the Facility under the supervision of Facility staff.
Training will be provided, as appropriate. Facility staff will carry
out those procedures that require a high level of training, such as the
preparation of enriched microsatellite libraries, and may complete some
smaller projects in their entirety.
