Next Generation Sequencing

The Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Core Facility was founded in January 2010 and is accessible to all academic and industrial users.

The Core Facility offers a broad range of services: library preparation, sequencing and primary data analysis.

It has two specific aims:
• to offer users a wide range of techniques for the preparation of DNA-seq and RNA-seq libraries and their sequencing
• to offer users bioinformatics analyses: mapping and further analyses that are previously defined with the users at the beginning of each project.

In some cases, for more complicated projects, a full collaboration can be set up between the NGS Core Facility and the users.

Process

If necessary, the project is discussed in a meeting with members of the facility

The facility processes approximately 200 projects a year.

The NGS Core Facility is ISO 9001 certified since October 2015, and NFX 50-900 certified since November 2017.

Quality: our management system is certified ISO 9001:2015 and NFX 50-900:2016.
