Welcome to Deep Seq
The sequencing facility offers research scientists access to state of the art high-throughput sequencing technology.
Our experienced team of dedicated experimental scientists and bioinformaticians will work with you from the conception of your sequencing experiment to the final analysis of your data. As well as running standard sequencing projects such as RNASeq and Resequencing we provide bespoke analyses and enjoy the challenges of developing new and emerging techniques and pipelines.
Contact us to discuss your sequencing project and arrange a quote.
Alternatively please fill in the relevant form to provide and much detail as possible for the quote or grant application quote.
Please allow 2 working weeks for DeepSeq to provide written quotes.
Sequencing Platforms
Deep Seq currently house the Illumina MiSeq and NextSeq500 sequencing platforms for low and medium throughput, which can supply single or paired reads from 75 to 600 cycles.
DeepSeq also run the Oxford NanoPore Technologies GridION and PromethION platforms and support staff running MinIONs. Deep Seq has also helped to develop software tools for MinION data analysis.
DeepSeq is also the UK sole supplier for the Bionano Saphyr, an optical mapping platform which can aid de novo assemblies and resolve complex structural variations.
For larger projects Deep Seq can outsource to high throughput sequencing suppliers and can still offer support for those projects with experimental design, library prep and bioinformatics as required.
