ROBERT J. BAKER GENETICS RESOURCES COLLECTION
The Museum of Texas Tech University's Robert J. Baker Genetic Resources Collection is a biological archive of more than 470,000 mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish and invertebrate tissue and DNA samples from over from >100,000 individuals from all over the globe. Preseving these materials provide sources for research in the areas of genomics, systematics, epidemiology, environmental toxicology, and more. Read more about the genetics collection.
CENTER FOR BIOTECHNOLOGY & GENOMICS
The Center for Biotechnology and Genomics has three core facilities: NextGen sequencing and genomics, Proteomics/Metabolomics, and Bioinformatics. Read more about the Center for Biotechnology and Genomics.
