Omics Research Cores The mission of the Omics Research Cores is to gather researchers and highthroughput technologies involved in the study and comprehensive analysis of biological systems at various molecular levels. The Omics Research Cores include: •
the Biorepository Core providing long-term storage of clinical and research materials such as samples, cell lines, tissue and blood samples, and DNA/RNA extracts;
•
the Digital Pathology Core that uses digital technology to capture, manage, and interpret pathological images and associated data. Ultimately replacing traditional glass slides and microscopes, the digital images are analyzed using Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning (AI/ML) — a necessity for faculty members at Meharry’s newly established School of Applied Computational Sciences (SACS).
•
the Genotyping & Microarray Core housing the study of gene expression, SNP genotyping, and cytogenetics along with custom microarray production and analysis.
•
the Mitochondrial Genomics Core focusing on studying the association between the mtDNA, maternal fingerprinting and identification, and a wide variety of diseases such as cancer, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
•
the Single Cell Sequencing & Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Core provides high-throughput single cell genome, transcriptome, immunome, or copy number analysis in a variety of cell types as well as single-cell nuclei. Data analytics here will be supported by SACS faculty members.
