HCGS Mission Statement

The Hubbard Center for Genome Studies was established in June 2001 to lead the development of genomics research at UNH.

The HCGS will establish itself as a leader in comparative and environmental genomics, with a special emphasis on novel model species.

The HCGS will provide technical assistance by constructing BAC and cDNA libraries, providing services in high-throughput DNA sequencing ,fragment analysis and analysis of gene expression. It also will maintain expertise in biocomputing and database services to support these activities.

The Center will play a leading role in education and training in genomics through a seminar series, short courses, lab rotations for graduate students and the distribution of protocols.

As a founding member of the UNH Entrepreueurial Campus, the Center will also engage partners outside UNH, to promote the development of the biotechnology industry in the region.
