has been beyond rewarding personally and professionally and it has been a pleasure assisting with your projects, hearing about your science, and being a part of such a strong research community.

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">The second reason for writing to you today is to announce our new pricing schedule for Fiscal Year 2018 (FY 18). The new pricing will officially go into effect starting July 1, 2017 for
all of the services offered at the OU Genomics Facility. Each of the pricing updates is designed to guarantee that the OUGF is able to recover the actual costs of each service. Each of these prices has been designed for lower through put (i.e. only a handful
of samples) however; if you have a large number of samples or a project that does not lend itself to these pre-packaged services, please contact Dr. Bill Broach directly to discuss your needs.

of the data, to guarantee you receive the FY 17 price we are setting a cutoff date of June 1, 2017. Therefore, any projects incorporating these services should have the samples to the Genomics Facility no later than June 1 to guarantee the old pricing.
