A big thank-you to Illumina for a stimulating lunch & learn session this week on Illumina’s expansion into multiple new omics directions: TruPath Genome sequencing using Proximity Mapped Reads Multiple reads per long molecule, rather than just single or paired end. Offers phased epigenomes and improved genome sequencing 5 base solution Convert genomic methylated 5mC...

We are using our Bruker/NanoString GeoMx and nCounter instruments in collaboration with groups around the University to examine spatial patterns of gene and protein expression in the context of a number of disease states, including the diseases mentioned above. These spatial technologies provide unprecedented opportunities to examine how adjacent cells...

We are pleased to welcome the 2026 intake of students to MB5522, an intensive, hands-on course taking students through the mysteries of Unix and high-performance computing, quality control on Illumina sequencing reads, genome assembly and finally genome annotation. Students analyse unknown samples of cultured organisms derived from soil around the...

We are pleased to announce the schedule of CGBEM workshops in Bioinformatics for the 2025/6 academic year. See below for a summary of the courses, which are taught in person at our Foresterhill campus in Aberdeen. Full details, including fees for each course and links to registration forms are provided...

We have now moved all our operations to the Foresterhill campus at the University of Aberdeen. This simplifies logistics and enables us to improve our services to all our clients.
