Sample Drop-off and Shipping
Non-local users can ship samples on wet ice for Illumina sequencing or frozen on dry ice for PacBio sequencing in a well-protected vessel. Please ensure that your package will arrive at UO Mon-Fri (UO cannot accept deliveries on weekends or federal holidays). Packages can be mailed to the following address:
University of Oregon/GC3F
1318 Franklin Blvd
Room 273 Onyx Bridge
Eugene, OR 97403
Local users can bring samples directly to 288 Klamath Hall to hand their samples off to our lab personnel.
Receiving Data
Data can be delivered by our GC3FStorage server via wget/rclone or by Globus. Full instructions for downloading data are available here.
Data is available for 30 days from the date it was originally published. We recommend you immediately back up your data on at least two separate hard drives.
Data Retention
After 30 days, data is written to a cold storage system consisting of single, non-redundant drives. We maintain this system as a last hope to retrieve your data after a loss event, but it should not be relied upon as a secure, long-term storage location.
If you have experienced a data loss event, please submit a Data Retrieval request through iLab. GC3F does not provide any warranty for data published more than 30 days prior, nor can we guarantee the timeliness or success of retrieval efforts. Each lane or cell of data incurs a $100 fee upon successful retrieval.
