microgen - the laboratory for genomics and bioinformatics

The Laboratory for Genomics and Bioinformatics is a genomics facility offering DNA sequencing (custom and genome-scale projects), genotyping, microarray design, hybridization and data analysis, and other services.

Dr. Allison Gillaspy, Ph.D., is the Director of the Laboratory for Genomics and Bioinformatics and a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.

Genomic Diversity in Campylobacter jejuni

Campylobacteriosis is the most common enteric disease worldwide. Raw chicken, unpasteurized milk and non-chlorinated water constitute the main sources of Campylobacter infections. Since the publication of the genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 in February 2000, additional evidence suggests that C. jejuni exhibits high genome diversity. This diversity might, in part explain the large spectrum of disease outcomes, ranging from...
