Genomics
The importance of genomic data in medicine has been ever increasing especially in the field of cancer biology and treatment decision for cancer patients. The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has been a revolutionizing advancement in providing such information and at a timely manner for use in the clinic.
CSHM scientists are working to provide a high-throughput genomics platform for the biosciences community. This will include support and experimental design and advice, NGS library preparation methods, DNA extraction, long-read sequencing, long mate-pair library construction and exome capture, analysis from transcriptomics to exome sequencing, genome assembly, genome annotation and metagenomics.
NGS can often create large datasets that pose a computational challenge. The Center will provide a genome analytics solution by enabling high-performance computing support.
