Facility Details

The next-generation sequencing facility of the Network Biology Collaborative Centre (NBCC) provides both short and long read sequencing capabilities for the analysis of gene function and expression. Directed by Dr. Jeff Wrana, this facility specializes in functional genomics and single cell biology.

Our full-service offerings include consultation, sample preparation (especially for spatial and single cell applications), quality control, sequencing analysis, bioinformatics support, and assistance with grant and publication writing related to the services we offer.

Applications include:
- gene function analysis - pooled CRISPR screening, multiplexed barcode screens
- whole genome sequencing - both short- and long-read sequencing
- bulk gene expression profiling
- single cell biology (single cells and single nuclei)
- spatial profiling
- pathogen detection and profiling
