The last day for sequencing submissions in 2012 is Wed Dec 19th. We will reopen to accept new submissions again from 7th Jan. We´d like to wish all our users "God Jul"!
6th of December 2012, the Norwegian Sequencing Centre (NSC) organizes a one-day seminar entitled:
“High-throughput Sequencing – Applications and Analyses”
*No pre-registration required*
The Oslo node of the FUGE Bioinformatics platform (Bioinformatics Core Facility), the Oslo node of the Norwegian Genomics Consortium (Genomics Core Facility) and the Norwegian Sequencing Centre are happy to invite you to an introductory hands-on course on analysis of next-generation sequencing data using bioinformatics tools.
An introductory course organised by The Research School in Biosystematics - ForBio (the NSC is not involved in this course).
We have updated our website to make it more user-friendly. Some links will have changed so, if when following an old link, you do not find what you are looking for then try navigating the menus(it should be easier with the new structure). If that does not work, then send us a mail .
Advanced scientific equipment requires advanced laboratories. It is therefore with great pleasure that the node of the Norwegian Sequencing Centre (NSC) at the Centre for Evolutionary and Ecological Synthesis (CEES) can now announce the opening of our new, state-of-the-art laboratories. The facility houses all of our sequencers – from ABI to 454, including our latest arrival, the Pacific Biosciences RS. The PacBio RS is the first true single molecule sequencing instrument in Scandinavia. In connection with the opening of the facilities, we welcome you all to an open NSC minisymposium
New Sequencers!
The NSC strives to provide the Norwegian research community with sequencing data using all currently available, proven technologies. We are therefore pleased to announce the arrival of THREE newly acquired sequencing instruments: the Illumina MiSeq, the Pacific Biosciences RS (the first such instrument in Scandinavia), and the Ion Torrent PGM from Life Technologies. See below for more details, specifications and their availability to users.
GAIIx services discontinued
We no longer offer sequencing on the Illumina GAIIx machines, which have now been retired. The higher throughput, greater reliability, and greatly reduced costs per base of sequencing on our HiSeq 2000, have rendered GAIIx sequencing in Norway obsolete.
The Research Computing Services group at USIT (gruppe for Vitenskapelig Databehandling) is pleased to invite you to a training course week for UiO and Notur users.
The slides presented during the "Introduction to High Throughput Sequencing" course on Tuesday Oct 25 th are now available for dowloading.
Atlantic cod genome published, with important contributions from the NSC
An international team of researchers used high throughput sequencing technology to make a striking discovery that changes fundamental ideas about the evolution of the immune system in vertebrates. These results are published in the September 8 issue of Nature. The Norwegian Sequencing Centre provided most of the sequencing data and played a vital role in the bioinformatics for the project.
October 28th, 2011, the Norwegian High-Throughput Sequencing Centre (NSC) organizes a one-day seminar entitled:
“High-throughput Sequencing – Applications and Analyses”
*No pre-registration required*
The Norwegian Sequencing Centre is offering a course in basic applications and bioinformatics analysis of High Throughput Sequencing data Oct 25-28 in Oslo.
Next-generation sequencing hands-on course
11-13 May 2011, Ole Johan Dahls hus (map)
Registration opens 23 March
Registration deadline: 17 April
NSC has ordered its first Single Molecule Sequencer (SMS) from Pacific Biosciences, the first of its kind in Scandinavia
Course: 'Bioinformatics for Metagenomic Analyses'
4-8 April 2011, Department of Biology, UiO
Language of instruction: English
Deadline for registration by PhD students from faculties other than 'NatMat' and from other Norwegian institutions: 18 January 2011
The Illumina sequencing node took delivery of a new HiSeq 2000 on 21 December 2010.
Both the Illumina and the 454 sequencing platforms of the NSC are undergoing upgrades with the purchase of new equipment, facilitating greater automation of laboratory procedures.
This seminar, organised and hosted by the NSC, brought together a number of international geneticists to highlight some of the current applications of high-throughput sequencing used in various disciplines. The one-day event was attended by approximately 70 professionals and students.
MCB (Molecular and Computational Biology) at UiB will offer this 3-day intensive workshop from September 8-11 2010
