Genomics Platform

The Genomics Platform offers high-throughput sequencing services, collaborating with research groups of all expertise levels. They provide personalized support, encompassing project planning, sequencing, standard data processing, and downstream analysis consulting.

 

Our mission is to enable rapid sequencing, aiming for a turnaround time of approximately one week from submitting a pooled sequencing library to receiving fastq files. To achieve this, we have established the direct-seq process which streamlines the workflow. Moreover, for users with limited expertise, we provide comprehensive support and strive to equip them with the necessary skills to become independent in their applications.

 

 

The Genomics Platform offers ad-hoc support for your NGS project. All details are discussed at the initial project meeting. Please contact us as early as possible to schedule a meeting. For experienced users, a fast-track direct sequencing service is available.

The Genomics Platform hosts three Illumina NextSeq 2000 sequencers, as well as an Oxford Nanopore MinION device. Users can receive training and gain access to other equipment, including a TapeStation, a Fragment Analyzer, and a 10X Chromium Controller.

 

 

Users new to the Genomics Platform start with an onboarding meeting to get to know the platform team, procedures and set-up. Please contact us to schedule an onboarding meeting.

We also offer hands-on training for user-operated instruments:

  • Agilent 4200 TapeStation
  • Agilent 5200 Fragment Analyzer
  • Covaris E220 evolution Focused-ultrasonicator
  • 10X Genomics Chromium Controller

In addtion, we offer training and advise on diverse sequencing library preparations, quality control steps and quantification procedures.

Training and guidance for sequencing data processing and downstream analysis is part of the computational drop-in sessions we provide. Find more information here.

In addition, we are hosting different networking and training events to connect researchers with and without bioinformatics background to facilitate a strong user community. Find more information here.

 

 

We have worked with various bulk and single-cell applications including RNA, CHIP, ATAC, Cut&Tag, CHOR, SCAR, CRISPR, 10X, multiome. If you are interested in any other applications, please email us to schedule a discussion.
