Facility Details

Cogentech's Integrated Genomics Core Facility (IGU) consists of three state-of-the-art units: Molecular Biology and Sequencing, Histopathology and Bioinformatics. The Molecular Biology group provides expertise in various fields of application: nucleic acid extraction from different matrices, ddPCR and various types of sequencing (customised gene panels, Lowpass WGS, WES, WGS, total RNA-Seq, mRNA Seq, TCR-Seq, 16S Metagenomic Seq, ATAC-Seq, genome-wide methylation profiling). The Bioinformatics unit provides pipelines for the analysis of data produced by all sequencing workflows. In addition, it provides its expertise for the implementation and development of customised pipelines. Finally, the Histopathology unit offers services for slide preparation and staining, image digitisation and laser-capture microdissection. The laboratory is ISO9001 certified.
