TCAG Facilities

Informatics

The Informatics Facility is dedicated to analyzing data generated by TCAG facilities, for intramural or collaborative research projects and for fee-for-service projects. We are specialized in (a) copy number variation detection from array data and (b) NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) data analysis, such as mapping sequences to a reference genome, rare single nucleotide variant detection, RNA-seq analysis, ChIP-seq analysis, de-novo genome assembly.

Fee-for-service analysis of NGS data is offered by the Informatics Facility, whereas fee-for-service analysis of copy number variation is offered by the Statistics Facility.

Please see our terms of use.

1. Service analysis portfolio

  • Mapping NGS reads to a reference genome
  • Rare single nucleotide variant (SNV) detection, from exome or whole-genome re-sequencing
    • raw reads alignment
