ALERT

ATTENTION ⚠️

In observance of a holiday, Agilent CrossLab/iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Friday, July 4th, 2025. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Monday, July 7th, 2025. EU and APAC Support will remain open during this time. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/email subject or press "1" when prompted to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone, and we will prioritize those requests first.

  • Single Cell RNA Sequencing Data Analysis
  • RNA-Seq Gene Level Data Analysis
  • RNA-Seq de Novo Transcriptome Assembly
  • Genome Resequencing
  • Proteomics Data Analysis
  • Microarray Data Analysis
  • Multi-omics and other Data Analysis
  • Biostatistics & Clinical Informatics
  • Experimental Design
  • Pathway Analysis with iPathwayGuide
  • Workshops/Seminars
  • Consultation

Please explore our Services page for more information or contact us directly. 

This core is supported by the NV INBRE and the MW CTR-IN, grants from the NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences (GM103440, 5 U54 GM104944). The iLab license was provided by the NV INBRE Administrative Supplement, a grant from the NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences (GM103440-14A1S1).
