The two partners of NSC have complementary strengths and research interests. While the CEES node has a particular focus on de novo sequencing, genome assembly and single cell methods, the AMG node specializes in whole-genome resequencing (WGS), amplicon sequencing and epigenetics. Both nodes also have considerable experience and research interests in transcriptomics and metagenomics. The NSC is therefore well positioned to provide the full-range of sequencing services in the wide variety of possible short-read and long-read high-throughput sequencing applications.
NSC collaborates closely with the Bioinformatics FUGE platforms and with USIT (University of Oslo Center for IT) regarding downstream sequence analysis and data storage.
