IIHG Genome Sequencing Service

Genome Sequencing Service

The IIHG Genomics Division (formerly the DNA Facility) provides genomic or massively parallel DNA sequencing using the Illumina and Ion Torrent platforms. A custom LIMS facilitates sample management throughout the workflow. Users receive all information regarding sample preparation along with sequencing results. All data are backed up and archived. A powerful computer cluster supports data analysis. Members of the IIHG Bioinformatics Division perform a preliminary analysis (e.g., assembly, alignment, etc.) on all runs.

The applications supported by the service include:

• Custom and whole exome sequence target capture
• RNA-Seq (quantification of transcript, i.e., expression analysis)
• smRNA discovery and quantification
• DNA-Seq (Resequencing)
• ChIP-Seq
• Methyl-Seq
• De novo Sequencing

The Genome Sequencing Service is located in:

Room 300H Eckstein Medical Research Building (EMRB)

• The sequencing service is open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM M-F.
• Samples for sequencing may be dropped off anytime during these hours.
