SciLifeLab’s National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI), in partnership with Element Biosciences, is offering two grant opportunities for Swedish researchers to access advanced sequencing technologies.

Adapter dilution and input optimisation for Qiagen QIAseq miRNA Library kit

7th May 2025  -  Categories: Research & Development

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA that play a critical role in regulating gene expressions that are important for a multitude of biological processes. In the preparation of miRNA sequencing libraries by using QIAseq miRNA library kit, adapter dimers might occur inadvertently and compromise the sequencing performance.

[CLOSED] NGI is looking for a Bioinformatician

25th November 2024  -  Categories: Careers

We are seeking a skilled Bioinformatician to join our production team at the National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI), one of Europe’s largest sequencing facilities, located at SciLifeLab in Solna. The successful applicant will be employed by Karolinska Institutet.

[CLOSED] Project proposals for spatial multiomics analysis on AVITI24

11th November 2024  -  Categories: Updates

Our AVITI sequencer is now in operation. We have completed several successful runs on a variety of sample types, including amplicons, whole-genome sequencing (WGS), and ATAC-seq. While we continue evaluating quality and performance across different library types, initial results indicate that AVITI sequencing is performing well and is on par with expectations. Please contact us if you are interested in additional details or would like to submit an AVITI sequencing project.
