MOMA Core Center
Next Generation Sequencing service
About
MOMA Core Center provides its users with a wide range of analyses within molecular biology including:
- DNA/RNA extraction
- Tissue handling
- Droplet digital PCR, MLPA, Sanger sequencing, fragment analysis
- Short-read NGS services (Illumina)
- Long-read NGS services (Oxford Nanopore Technologies)
- Data analysis / Bioinformatics
When suitable, we use our standardized accredited workflows to reduce costs and turnaround time. Depending on the project, we also offer development of novel methodologies and protocols.
All our services are offered as non-profit for research groups and clinical departments at public institutions.
The Core Center was established in January 2012 by Aarhus University Hospital, the Faculty of Health at Aarhus University, and scientists at MOMA. Our team of highly trained personnel provides guidance and advice for sequencing projects.
Equipment
Our fully equipped lab, including automation using liquid handling robots, supports all common sequencing applications. See more at our Laboratoy page.
Data analysis
As per request, MOMA will perform the first level of bioinformatics data analysis (e.g. data cleanup, mapping to reference genome, generation of gene count tables) by trained and highly dedicated staff.
If you need support for subsequent downstream analysis, we refer to our collaborators at CONNECT - Center for Clinical and Genomic Data.
Publication Policy
The use of the services provided by the MOMA Core Center in publications requires acknowledgement of the center. A suggested acknowledgement is:
Library preparation / Next generation sequencing was performed by the MOMA Core Center, Department of Molecular Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.
