Norwegian High-Throughput Sequencing Centre (NSC)

Norwegian High-Throughput Sequencing Centre (NSC)

The Norwegian High-Throughput Sequencing Centre (NSC) is a consolidation of  the Illumina and the 454 (Roche) sequencing platforms at Institute of Medical Genetics (IMG) and Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES), University of Oslo (UiO).  

The two partners have complementary strengths and research interests. While the 454 GS FLX node has a particular focus on de novo sequencing (including cDNA/ESTs), amplicon sequencing and metagenomics, the Illumina (HiSeq 2000) node has a particular focus on targeted resequencing and functional genomics applications like transcriptomics and epigenetics. Together, the NSC is therefore well positioned to provide services to the Norwegian research communities in the wide variety of possible high-throughput sequencing applications.

The main goals of the NSC are to provide high throughput sequencing services for resequencing, transcriptomics, metagenomics and de novo sequencing for the Norwegian research community and provide customized bioinformatic analysis of the sequence data.
