The DNA/Peptide (DP) Shared Resource has provided University of Utah researchers RNA and DNA oligonucleotide synthesis, peptide synthesis, and Edman sequencing for the past 20 years. The DP Shared Resource’s role is to provide cost-effective, rapid services for its users and to allow specialty syntheses or modifications when needed. The DP facility operates two high-throughput DNA synthesizers, two conventional synthesizers for long oligos or for when small amounts of specialty reagents are required, two peptide synthesizers, and one Edman sequencer with several high-performance liquid chromatography systems for purification and analysis. The DP Shared Resource operational funding comes from a fee-for-service (chargeback) system. More than 120 laboratories on the University of Utah campus have used the DP Shared Resource; more than half of these were Cancer Center labs. Heavy-use labs represent only a few percent of the total services; hence, usage is widely distributed.
