NGI Uppsala offers next generation sequencing (NGS) and genotyping services of high quality using the latest technologies to academic researchers in Sweden and abroad.
NGI Uppsala consists of two units, the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform and Uppsala Genome Center. Our goal is to provide researchers in Sweden and abroad cost effective, flexible and expedient service.
Our wide-range of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) services include short-read technologies using Illumina and IonS5XL instruments and long-read technologies using PacBio Seque, Sequel II and Oxford Nanopore PromethION. Single-cell applications using the 10x Genomics system and protein analysis using the Olink Explore assay is also offered in combination with short-read Illumina sequencing. Our services cover a unique range of applications and solutions in the field of genomics. We also undertake technically challenging projects that can lead to development of novel NGS protocols and applications.
For genotyping we assist projects on all scales (up to 5 million SNPs per sample) in a few to thousands of samples using Illumina iScan system.
DNA-methylation profiling is offered by array-based SNP genotyping and by whole-genome and targeted bisulfite sequencing using Illumina technology. Methylation profiling is also possible on native DNA using PacBio Sequel.
Extraction of ultra High Molecular Weight (uHMW) DNA is offered for de novo projects to be sequenced using PacBio or Oxford Nanopore technologies.
The SNP genotyping and sequencing using Illumina, Ion and PacBio technologies are accredited by SWEDAC according to the ISO/IEC 17025 quality standard.
The best set up for a particular project depends on several factors e.g. research question, amount, quality and number of samples to be analyzed, as well as the requested amount of data.
