The IIHG Genomics Division provides genomic or massively parallel DNA sequencing using short-read (Illumina) and long-read (Oxford Nanopore) platforms. Investigators can submit RNA/DNA samples for library preparation and sequencing, or submit their own prepared libraries for sequencing. A custom LIMS facilitates sample management throughout the workflow provides users access to information regarding sample preparation along with their sequencing results. A powerful computer cluster supports data analysis and members of the IIHG Bioinformatics Division perform a preliminary analysis (e.g., assembly, alignment, etc.) on all runs. All data are backed up and archived.
The applications supported by the division include:
