Overview

CGS offers High Throughput Sequencing on the NextSeq 2000 and Miseq instruments from Illumina as well as the NovaSeq X for large projects. We are also the school of Biological Science facility for Oxford Nanopore technologies using the PromothION 24. We offer Single-cell sequencing via the 10x Chromium or the Parse Bioscience platform.

Services

Applications

We cover a wide range of applications, for DNA and RNA assays.

For RNA projects:

  • Bulk RNAseq
  • Low input RNAseq
  • ATACSeq
  • Single cell RNASeq

For DNA projects:

  • Whole genome sequencing
  • Sequence capture, exome panels
  • Amplicon processing for sequencing
  • ChIPSeq processing for sequencing
  • DNA methylation by sequencing
  • DNA methylation using microarray
  • DNA genotyping using microarray

Specifications

For short reads, our in house MiSeq and NextSeq 2000 allow us to cover small and large projects. We can cover depth of sequencing from a million read for run validation to up to 1.8B reads on the NextSeq 2000. We also have access to a NovaSeq X for larger projects.

For long reads project we have a PromethION 24, allowing us to handle all type projects related to DNA using long read sequencing.
