Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics
Deep Sequencing Facility
We are experts in genomics, focusing on the development of sequencing technologies. We provide cutting-edge technology that allows researchers to work on innovative, sophisticated projects.
Standardizing pre-analytical sample preparation is a key aspect of our work. For this purpose, we invest massively in protocol development and automation. As a central sequencing platform, we rely on instrumentation from the company Illumina (NovaSeq, NextSeq, MiSeq) as well as Oxford Nanopore (GridION).
Together with the Bioinformatics Facility, we ensure high-quality data production and continuously update our workflows. Advising on experimental settings and training is a very important aspect of our work. Especially young researchers profit at the beginning of their career from hands-on courses using specialized, sophisticated equipment.
