SERVICES

• DNA and RNA sequencing of user provided samples
• Establishing novel sequencing applications addressing the needs of users
• Outreach activities including provide guidelines and support for sample collections, study design and protocol selection

APPLICATIONS

These standard applications are currently performed by the Genomics Production and are ISO accredited:

• Human whole-genome sequencing with best-practice bioinformatic analysis (see details)
• Non-human whole-genome sequencing
• Strand-specific RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with best-practice bioinformatic analysis for supported genomes (see details)
• Small RNA sequencing with bioinformatic analysis. See Tech Note. Low input by GAD.
• De novo genome sequencing with best-practice bioinformatic analysis including 3-5 assemblies (see details). Multi-library assembly by GAD.
• Metagenomics
• Sequencing of finished library

The following applications are handled by the Genomics Applications Development and are at different stages of initial testing, development and validation. These applications usually include a descriptive bioinformatic analysis (enquire for details). If you are interested in something not on this list, please let us know!
