New website for the Genomics Platform
6 years after the latest redesign of the Genomics Platform website in 2017, a new version is now proposed. The main objective of this update is the integration of the site in the UNIGE graphic charter by using the official management tool Concrete CMS. The structure and contents of this new site are the same as in the previous version, and the address https://ige3.genomics.unige.ch is still valid. The regular visitors of the Platform website should thus not be confused with this new presentation.

The latest Illumina sequencer installed at the Platform
The Platform is recently equipped with the NovaSeq 6000 sequencer from Illumina. This powerful and cost-effective sequencer can generate up to 6 Tb in less than 2 days. It also allows to scale up and down the output, ideal for large studies as well as innovating projects requiring specific configurations.

Gene expression research & Digital Spatial Profiling
NanoString and the Genomics Platform will hold a workshop on October 19, 2021, at the CMU. The new GeoMX Digital Spatial Profiler that allows highly multiplexed spatial RNA and protein profiling will be presented. Updates on the nCounter system (available on the Platform) will be given. Pre Charna Dibner (Depts of Surgery and Cell Physiology and Metabolism) will also share her last NanoString data. Registration is required.

SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequencing
SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequencing is now available at the Platform. Library preparation is performed with the amplicon-based Paragon Genomics panel. Amplicon sequencing is done on the Illumina MiSeq (2 x 150 bp). Data analysis is proposed (up the lineage assignment).
