Sample Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Input Requirements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the NGS projects require nucleic acids (RNA or DNA) as input for GeneCore for specific applications (e.g 10x genomics, single cell RNAseq and Aviti24 Teton cytoprofiling), cells or cell lysates are required. \u2018Ready-to-run\u2019 libraries are also accepted; however, in this case, GeneCore is not responsible for any issues related to library preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Quality Criteria<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

All samples must meet quality & quantity criteria communicated to the users by GeneCore staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Compliance Requirements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Users are responsible for fulfill all legal, ethical and regulatory standards associated with the sequenced samples and ensure proper anonymization of sample identifiers, and by providing the samples to EMBL for sequencing, they confirm to EMBL that all relevant consents, licenses, or approvals have been obtained and that applicable standards have been complied with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sample Disposal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unless otherwise requested by the user, samples will be disposed of after six month or returned at cost of the user within 30 days after the sequenced data has been released.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
