Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics
Deep Sequencing Facility
We are experts in genomics, focusing on development of sequencing technologies. We provide cutting-edge technology that allows researchers to work on innovative, sophisticated projects.
Standardizing pre-analytical sample preparation is key aspect of our work. To this, we invest massively in protocol development and automation. As central sequencing platform, we rely on instrumentation from the company Illumina (NovaSeq, NextSeq, MiSeq) as well as Oxford Nanopore (GridION).
Together with the bioinformatics facility, we ensure high-quality data production and continuously update our workflows. Advising on experimental settings and training is a very important aspect of our work. Especially young researchers profit at the beginning of their career from hands-on courses using specialized, sophisticated equipment.
