Molecular Resource Center (MRC)
The Molecular Resource Center (MRC), established in 1985, is one of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) Centers of Excellence at UT Health Science Center.
Our mission is to provide UT scientists access to molecular technologies for exploring the basic biological mechanisms and the molecular bases of disease.

The MRC houses a full range of equipment in its core laboratories that facilitate molecular genetic and biochemical studies at the sub-cellular and systems biology levels. In addition to providing technical services on a cost basis, the MRC personnel assist and instruct investigators in applying specialized tools of modern molecular biology to basic and clinical research.
The MRC's services include sequencing at both the single fragment and whole genome/transcriptome (next generation) levels along with Affymetrix microarrays. Additionally, equipment, reagents, and training for real-time PCR at various throughputs and automated isolation of nucleic acids are also provided.
THEC FY23 Annual ReportExternal Sanger Sequencing Submission Policy
Samples submitted at the MRC for Sanger sequencing by Azenta (formerly GeneWiz) must be logged into the iLab portal by the laboratory personnel submitting the samples, in addition to completion of the external submission form on the Azenta portal. Both the iLab and Azenta paperwork must be downloaded, printed and submitted along with your samples for sequencing, or they will not be sent out.
