The Genomics Core Facility (GeneCore) provides its services to a broad range of users ranging from small research groups to international consortia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our massively parallel sequencing (MPS) suite boasts Illumina sequencers – NextSeq500, NextSeq2000, and MiSeq as well as PacBio Sequel IIe. We also work in close collaboration with the University of Heidelberg and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) to further enhance the capabilities of these sequencing technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation of MPS libraries for various applications is supported by a robust instrumentation infrastructure (e.g. Covaris, Bioanalyzer, Agilent Fragment Analyzer, Agilent Femto Pulse, Qubit, and more). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support processing of large quantities of samples we have employed a suite of liquid handling robots such as the Beckman Coulter i7, FXp, Echo acoustic liquid handler, and Dispendix iDot.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
