While we are a fee for service resource on Clemson University\u2019s campus, this does not exempt the user from acknowledging the facility and the IDeA NIH grant that supports the facility in part in all publications, projects, and\/or research. There is no cost for the use of software installed and scripts for the pipelines designed by the staff of CUGBF. We request that all data generated through use of CUGBF\u2019s infrastructure (instrumentation, software, and scripts) include an acknowledgement statement. Please contact us for details.<\/em><\/p>\n
