The CCR Genomics Core provides advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) services using Illumina technology. The Core operates multiple Illumina platforms, including the iSeq, MiSeq, and four NextSeq 2000 sequencers, which enable high-quality sequencing with flexible throughput and streamlined workflows. Effective October 1, 2025, services will focus on specialized, custom NGS applications that require tailored workflows or non-routine project support, as well as sequencing of user-prepared libraries for “Routine” Illumina applications such as bulk RNAseq, ChIPseq, ATACseq, and whole-genome sequencing (bacterial).
“Routine” refers to projects using high-quality, renewable samples from cell lines and animal models.
Core personnel provide a full spectrum of experimental support. From bioinformatic consultation, experimental design assistance and advice on library preparation to library quality assessment and preparation, sequencing, and data analysis. Libraries may be prepared either by the Core or their customers. Data will be delivered to Core users via presigned Cleversafe URLs. Full bioinformatics support is provided on a case-by-case basis.
