Genohub would like to welcome the Genome Sequencing Facility (GSF) at Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute in the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio to the Genohub family. The sequencing services listed by UTHSCSA has added more available options for researchers on the Genohub next generation sequencing market.

UTHSCSA listed the following next generation sequencing instruments and Illumina library preparation options:

• Instruments:
  • Illumina MiSeq paired end sequencing options
  • Illumina HiSeq single read and paired end sequencing options

• Library prep:
  • Illumina ChIP
  • Illumina Directional RNA (polyA-selected)
  • Illumina Directional RNA (rRNA-depleted)
  • Illumina DNA
  • Illumina Exome
  • Illumina RNA (polyA-selected)
  • Illumina RNA (rRNA-depleted)
  • Illumina Small RNA (microRNA)

The GSF has a stated mission to deploy NGS systems focusing on cancer genomics to benefit Greehey CCRI investigators and the wider research community. The NGS facility performs all protocols necessary for preparing a sample to be sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 system. The GSF is also a research group with experience in customizing experiments and developing new applications. They provide:

• Complete project consultation for optimal experimental design and setup
• Complete quality control analysis during library preparation and data generation
• Secure website to download the sequencing data with quality information
• Full project report
• Bioinformatics analysis option available
• NCBI GenBank submission option available

We are excited to include UTHSCSA high throughput sequencing services on the Genohub next generation sequencing market.
