Genomics/Transcriptomics Analysis Core (GTAC)

Banner for the Genomics/Transcriptomics Analysis Core (GTAC) featuring the acronym “GTAC” over a DNA double helix.

The Genomics/Transcriptomics Analysis Core (GTAC) is a centralized molecular biology facility operated by the Department of Biology and supported by the College of Science and Engineering (CoSE).

  • GTAC provides shared instrumentation, standardized workflows, and structured training to support genomics-based research and instruction.
  • GTAC operates as a self-service research facility. Registered users perform their own laboratory work following required onboarding and instrument-specific training.
  • GTAC does not function as a drop-off or fee-for-service laboratory and does not perform in-house sequencing.
  • GTAC supports research training and independent faculty research within the Department of Biology and supports a large and active research community across multiple programs within the SFSU research environment.
