Sanger Sequencing
In this service, the core will set up the sequencing reactions, clean the reactions and sequence them on the Genetic Analyzer instruments.
Genome Sequencing
In this service, the core will provide library construction and sequencing services of whole genomes. The whole genome sequencing services are run on one of the Illumina instruments depending on the size of the genome. The core also offers long-read sequencing services.
Transcriptome Sequencing
In this service, the core will provide library construction and sequencing on the Illumina platform for:
- total RNA or mRNA
- small RNA
Additionally, the core can perform rRNA depletion for total RNA and Globin depletion for blood samples before library construction.
Targeted Sequencing
This service includes library construction and sequencing of whole exome and targeted gene panels on the Illumina platform.
Genotyping
The genotyping service includes array genotyping using the Illumina iScan System and Genotyping-By-Sequencing (GBS) on one of the Illumina sequencers.
Metagenomic Profiling
For microbial profiling, the core provides 16s ribosomal RNA amplification, library construction and sequencing on one of the Illumina sequencers. The core also provides whole genome sequencing of genomic DNA recovered from environmental samples.
