The Genomics Core Facility (GCF) at the University of Bergen provides a wide range of high-throughput genomic services to the local and national scientific community. We offer an extensive set of technologies to study genome structure, dynamics and function using next generation sequencing technology. In addition to our laboratory services, we also offer expert advice on experimental design and bioinformatics analysis, training and assistance on data storage solutions.
We are located on the 6th floor of the Laboratory building, at Haukeland University Hospital.
The Genomics Core Facility (GCF) is hosted by the Department of Clinical Science, in collaboration with Haukeland University Hospital.
GCF is a partner in the Norwegian consortium for sequencing and personalized medicine (NorSeq), supported by an infrastructure grant from the Research Council of Norway.
Our services and applications:
We provide a wide range of high-throughput genomic services. The applications include whole genome sequencing, exome sequencing, RNAseq, Single-Cell sequencing and other relevant high-throughput sequencing applications (upon request).
Our services include:
- Advice in experimental design for high quality results
- Quality control (QC) of your DNA/RNA
- Library preparation with QC and quantification
- Next Generation Sequencing, using Illumina next generation sequencing technology
- Expert advice on bioinformatics analysis, training, and assistance on data storage solutions
- Standard bioinformatics is included in the price, and more extensive bioinformatics can be provided upon request.
*We do not offer nucleic acid extraction services ourselves. Please feel free to reach out for further advice on suitable providers.
Please contact us for more information about our genomic services.
Our partners and funding:
We are hosted by the Department of Clinical Science, in collaboration with Haukeland University Hospital.
We are a partner in the Norwegian Consortium for Sequencing and Personalized Medicine (NorSeq), which operates the National technology platform supported by the Research Council of Norway. Additionally, we have a collaboration with ELIXIR Norway, an interdisciplinary research center within the field of bioinformatics and computational biology.
Consultations:
We highly recommend starting with a project consultation.
Understanding your project goals allows us to provide accurate recommendations.
Consultation is also an excellent opportunity to address any practical questions regarding planning and designing your experiment. Please contact us for a free consultation to discuss your project.
