Genomics platform (GO@L)

Platform

Description

Our platform provides a wide range of solutions and expertise in the field of medium/high throughput genomics. It includes two specialized hubs: the "Functional and Structural Genomics" hub, which develops its expertise in particular for translational research on cancer, and the "Transcriptomics & Applied Genomics" (TAG) hub, specialized in microbiology applications. With a global or targeted approach, we ensure the follow-up and the realization of research projects from the qualification of samples, the preparation of libraries and their sequencing, to the bioinformatics and biostatistical analysis of these data. We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose training and services in line with our expertise.
