Description
Auto-translated from FrenchEPFL intends to acquire a high-throughput DNA sequencing platform for its Gene Expression Core Facility (GECF / PTEG) at the School of Life Sciences (FSV). This equipment will be operated jointly with the Genomics Technology Facility (GTF) of the University of Lausanne and is intended to serve cutting-edge research in the field of functional genomics. A particular focus is on RNA-seq and epigenome profiling at both single-cell and bulk levels, as well as genome and exome sequencing. This instrument is intended to enable medium to high throughput and typically be able to sequence both medium-sized and large projects. The desired optimal throughput is therefore at least 5 to 10 billion reads per single run.
