Next Generation Sequencing

The Genomics Core offers Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) services at UAB using the Illumina Sequencing Platforms: NextSeq500 and the MiSeq desktop sequencer.

NGS Assays include:

  • HiSeq2000Whole Genome Sequencing
  • Targeted Resequencing
  • mRNA-Seq
  • microRNA-Seq
  • Exome Capture and Sequencing
  • ChIP-Seq
  • Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS)
  • 16S rDNA Microbiome Sequencing

Data analysis is being performed through the Heflin Center in collaboration with the CCTS, and the CBSG.

Please contact Mike Crowley (975-2013) to discuss the details and pricing for your NGS project.
