Rutgers Cancer Institute of NJ (CINJ) Metabolomics

Metabolomics Analysis and Visualization Engine (MAVEN) software package for data processing and visualization.

MAVEN is an open-source software program for interactive processing of LC-MS-based metabolomics data. MAVEN enables rapid and reliable metabolite quantitation from multiple reaction monitoring data or high-resolution full-scan mass spectrometry data.It automatically detects and reports peak intensities for isotope-labeled metabolites. Menu-driven, click-based navigation allows visualization of raw and analyzed data.

Gnotobiotic Core

https://research.rutgers.edu/animal-care/gnotobiotic-core

Managed by Animal Care, the gnotobiotic core at Rutgers University provides investigators with the ability to work with germ-free and SPF mice. Currently the core maintains a germ-free colony with C57BL/6 GF mice and Swiss Webster mice to support Rutgers investigators.  We offer many technical services that also support gnotobiotic studies.

Next Generation Sequencing Services

https://research.njms.rutgers.edu/genomics/research-genomics.php

At the Genomics Center, we specialize in Next Generation Sequencing. We are a one-stop service provider for all the aspects of NGS, from library preparation to data analysis. We routinely sequence DNA and RNA samples of all kinds and from various sources, using established as well as custom protocols.
