The goal of the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Core Facility is to provide cutting edge next generation sequencing technology to its users. Next Generation Sequencing has become a key analysis method for biological research. The capacity to expand analysis from more or less defined genomic regions to genome wide studies has boosted the pace of research discovery and enabled researchers to obtain a global view on biological processes. Advice and guidance of sequencing projects are offered by our team that relies on years of experience with sequencing systems and sequencing data analysis. All common sequencing applications are supported and the development of novel methods and protocols encouraged
