Information about sample drop-off and other activities during the summer at NGI Uppsala - SNP&SEQ (Illumina samples)

NGI and Oxord Nanopore are giving a joint seminar with invited speakers to update our users on the latest technology developments.

NGI contributes to SEQC2 initiative through ongoing participation in EATRIS-ERIC.

NGI will be operating at a limited capacity during summer, and a number of our user-targeted activities will encounter delays between week 25 and week 32 (June 24, 2021 – Aug 9, 2021). All services will resume as usual on August 9, 2021.

NGI in collaboration with the SciLifeLab Affinity Proteomics Uppsala unit now offer protein biomarker analysis services using the Olink Explore assay.

Due to the current pandemic, the reception for Sample Drop-off will be limited to Fridays only (open hours 09-11:00), until further notice.

With the introduction of nanopore sequencing as a service at NGI Uppsala, we invite all our users to a virtual PromethION launch party at June 11th. Register now to join, and to participate in the PromethION prize draw.

The National Genomics Infrastructure NGI is pleased to announce the launch of our new website with more thorough information on our services.

Congratulations to our facility director Jessica Nordlund for recieving the “Stora Gustafssonpriset” in medicine 2020 for her research on acute lymphoblastic leukemia!

Uppsala Genome Center now offers sequencing with Nanopore and Sequel II. We have also launched our DNA extraction service.

SNP&SEQ facilty is now a EATRIS-Plus partner.

The SNP&SEQ technology platform is accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. 

Sample drop-off for Illumina sequencing at NGI Uppsala (SNP&SEQ) before summer 2019.

It is our pleasure to invite you to our Fourth Long-Read Sequencing meeting that will take place at BMC Uppsala on April 3-4 this year. Registration is now open!

PacBio's high thoughput system Sequel has now replaced the older system RSII.

From January 18^th, 2019, Uppsala Genome Center will no longer offer Sanger sequencing, fragment analysis, or genotyping with STR markers. The last day to submit plates for capillary electrophoresis is January, 15^th.

Uppsala Genome Center is closed during the Christmas holidays. You can find our closing and opening times here.
 

The SNP&SEQ Technology Platform is happy to inform that we now have a new instrument at our platform. The iSEQ is currently being installed at the platform.

The Sample Drop-off for sequencing at the facility will be closed on Midsummer's Eve, Friday, June 22.

Order processing and sample submission will be closed during summer. Library preparation and sequencing will continue at a reduced pace. See below for important deadlines for sample submission and ordering.

NGI Uppsala - the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform would like to welcome you to an interesting extra IMV Seminar about precision treatment strategies and drug resistance.

Är du en utbildad biotekniker, molekylärbiolog eller liknande med hög noggrannhet, ansvarskänsla och god samarbetsförmåga? Har du praktisk erfarenhet av storskaligt laboratoriearbete, gärna i ackrediterad miljö och med datorstyrda laboratorieinstrument? Vi söker nu en forskningsingenjör till sekvenseringsdelen av SNP&SEQ-teknologiplattformen.

Do you want to work in one of the world’s fastest growing technology areas? NGI Uppsala (the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform) are currently looking for two bioinformaticians responsible for managing and analyzing the sequence data produced by the platform, as well as the development and maintenance of pipelines for data analysis.

The Sample Drop-off for submitting samples to the facility sequencing service is closed for the Easter Holidays at the following dates:

Are you planning to apply for sequencing support from VR or Formas this year? Struggling with the experimental design, costs and time lines of your sequencing project to be able to write an attractive and accurate proposal and budget? Welcome to NGI drop-in consultation!

Are you interested in learning more about the Chromium System and Linked-Read Sequencing? 10X Genomics is organizing a User Group meeting at BMC, Uppsala on April 11-12, 2018.

NGI welcomes all researchers with an interest in transcriptomic and single cell studies to this year's Celsius-Linneaus Lectures and Symposium.

Order processing and sample submission for sequencing will be closed during Christmas holiday. Library preparation and sequencing will continue at reduced pace.

SciLifeLab has announced giving 33 million SEK to 14 sequencing projects focused on human whole genome sequencing and biodiversity under the SciLifeLab National Sequencing Projects initiative. In total, thousands of genomes will be sequenced within the projects by the National Genomic Infrastructure, NGI.

Developers of the Arteria Project at SNP&SEQ Technology Platform was recently interview by StackStorm for being innovative StackStorm Community Thought Leaders. StackStorm is an open-source automation platform that connects apps, services and workflows and has been used as a base within the Arteria project.

NGI Uppsala invites you to join a two-day event dedicated to long-read sequencing applications.

The SNP&SEQ Technology Platform (NGI Uppsala), Miltenyi Biotec, and 10x Genomics welcomes all researchers with an interest in single cell sequencing.

In mid-June all facilites within NGI, including the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform,  will start introducing a new, secure system for delivering sequence and genotype data to users. With this new system, once your project is ready, you will be given access to a secure delivery server where your data will be available for download for a limited period of time.

The SNP&SEQ Technology Platform has acquired the newly launched NovaSeq6000 sequencing system (Illumina Inc.) and the instrument is currently being installed.

Order processing and sample submission will be closed during summer. Library preparation and sequencing will continue at reduced pace.

• Orders submitted will be closed from June 22 to August 7
• Sample submission will be closed from July 3 to August 7. (Last day for sample submission is June 30).

From March 13, 2017 the SNP&SEQ Technology platform will change its routines for sample submission for Illumina sequencing.

Illumina has recently updated the Special Conditions of Sale applicable to their HiSeqX instruments. The new Special Conditions lowers the requirements for average depth of coverage and now permits whole genome sequencing (WGS) and bisulphite sequencing down to an average depth of 15X coverage or greater. 

The 850K array demonstrates high reproducibility at the 450K CpG sites, is consistent among technical replicates, is reliable in the matched study of fresh frozen versus formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples and is also useful for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine.
