Translational Genomics Core Services
Partners HealthCare Personalized Medicine Translational Genomics Core provides service across several genomics technologies including high throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS), library construction for NGS, genotyping, and whole genome amplification.
Our Services
The services at Partners Personalized Medicine Translational Genomics Core are comprised of four core areas:
Next-Generation Sequencing Service
The Translational Genomics Research Core has a long history of producing high-quality, dependable, and informative sequencing results for collaborators and clients. Our next-generation sequencing platforms and services include:
- Illumina HiSeq 2500 suitable for sequencing of large genomes and transcriptomes.
- Illumina MiSeq suitable for whole genome sequencing of smaller organism genomes, targeted gene panels, metagenomics, amplicon sequencing, and quality control of libraries.
- Library Construction Services compatible with Illumina sequencing platforms for whole genome, whole exome, whole transcriptome, and 3’ differential gene expression. In addition, custom target enrichment (amplicon based and hybrid capture), HTG EdgeSeq miRNA Whole Transcriptome Assay, and HTG EdgeSeq Oncology Biomarker Panel services are available.
Genotyping Services
The Translational Genomics Research Core provides flexible, high-quality, high-throughput SNP genotyping for collaborators and clients. Using state-of-the-art equipment, our technologies enable throughputs in excess of 5 million SNP genotypes per day. Whether you are genotyping only one SNP or every SNP within the genome, or want to customize your assay, we have you covered. Our portfolio of genotyping services includes:
- TaqMan®/OpenArray suitable for 1-8 SNP targets, and 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 SNPs.
- Illumina iSCAN platform which supports broad range of Illumina genotyping assays including:
- Infinium BeadChips: suitable for medium to large number of SNP targets up to 5M.
-
Infinium HumanMethylation850 BeadChip: suitable epigenome-wide association studies.
Whole Genome Amplification Service
Using a high-fidelity, high-throughput kit, we offer DNA extraction and whole genome amplification services from even the most minute DNA samples.
