GIGA-Genomics
The Genomics platform offers a wide range of services, from simple fragment length analysis over conventional Sanger sequencing, to high throughput sequencing and assembling of complex genomes or transcriptomes.
Services
Array based SNP genotyping
High throughput genotyping using Illumina Infinium arrays is available for a wide range of species, from human to plants
High throughput whole genome sequencing
Currently, genomes, independent of their size, can be sequenced at high coverage using high throughput DNA sequencers.
High throughput amplicon sequencing
One of the features of high throughput sequencers is the possibility to mix libraries of different origin/samples in the same run.
High throughput RNA sequencing
Once RNA is converted into cDNA it can be sequenced on an Illumina high throughput sequencer.
16S amplicon sequencing
The most common used method for metagenome sequencing is an amplicon based method.
Single cell gene expression
Single cell gene expression profiles are generated from cell suspensions containing up to 20.000 cells, by compartmentation of the cells in oil droplets.

Testimonies
"One of the main asset of the GIGA-Genomics platform resides in its close relationship with it users. All the members have always paid close attention to our specific research and training needs".
