ABOUT US

​

This event is organized by the NGI Uppsala, Uppsala Genome Center.

​​

The National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) is hosted by Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab), a Swedish national center for molecular biosciences with focus on health and environmental research.

​

NGI is one of SciLifeLabs largest technical platforms both in terms of number of projects and number of users. It provides access to technology for massively parallel/next generation DNA sequencing, genotyping at all scales and associated bioinformatics support to researchers based in Sweden. It comprises four facilities, NGI Stockholm (Application Development), NGI Stockholm (Production), NGI Uppsala (SNP&SEQ Technology Platform), and NGI Uppsala (Uppsala Genome Center).

​

Uppsala Genome Center is unique

 

Since 1998, we have been and are still remaining one of the few core facilities offering weekly Sanger sequencing service in Northern Europe. 

Besides Sanger's, we are successfully operating Next Generation Sequencing service (NGS). Unlike other core facilities in Sweden, we offer services on Pacific Biosciences RSII, IonTorrent S5, and Ion Proton systems.

Finally, UGC is even offering genotyping service for multiple applications, e.g. human cell line autentication.
