50 Carl Houghton Lake, MI, 48630 United StatesThe Functional Genomics Shared Resource was established as a shared resource for the application of functional genomic technologies to support the research programs of investigators at Duke and beyond. Through investments in genetic and chemical perturbation technologies, we have assembled state-of-the-art reagents and equipment, providing researchers access to genome-wide RNAi reagents and the infrastructure necessary to conduct large-scale functional studies in mammalian cells. Expertise: The facility serves to provide expertise in the development and use of reagents for genetic perturbation, including RNAi, ORF overexpression and CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing platforms. Genetic Reagents: We maintain several human genome RNAi collections for screening: The Qiagen Human genome siRNA library v1.0, the TRC1 lentiviral shRNA library and an MSCV-based retroviral shRNA library. The siRNA library may be screened in arrayed format, subsets of the TRC1 library may be screened in arrayed or pooled format and the MSCV retroviral library is available only in pooled format. We also distribute individual lentiviral shRNA clones from the TRC are available as bacterial glycerol stocks, through our shRNA request system. Chemical Reagents: We have several libraries available for screening, see http://sites.duke.edu/functionalgenomics/screening/ for more details. Genome-wide screens: The Functional Genomics Shared Resource has developed the infrastructure necessary to conduct high-throughput screens, providing automated liquid handlers, cell platers and plate washers. For plate-based quantitative assays, we have the Cellomics high-content screening system, as well as multimodal plate readers. Screens can also be performed in pooled format using a selection-based strategy. Phenotypic assays: The facility offers high-content screening with the Cellomics ArrayScan system, as well as sensitive signal detection with two high-performance multimodal plate readers. All systems are equipped with plate stackers and barcode readers for walk-away functionality and true high-throughput processing.

The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography. Updated nightly, this map features all of the available CROs within our network, so you can order services with a few clicks. Click on a specific country, scroll on the map itself or type into the search bar at the top—there are many ways to find the location and suppliers that you’re looking for. From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
Have questions or feedback? We’d love to help. You can find our FAQs and contact information on the Learn more page.
