The objective of the IdISBa Genomics and Bioinformatics platform is to provide support for research that features genetic studies in its projects.
Accordingly, the Genomics and Bioinformatics platform provides researchers with advanced technologies for full study of the genome, from transcriptomics and their regulation, to structural study (copy number variation) at the full genome level, as well as the bioinformatic analysis of the databases generated in these genomic studies.
Equipment:

- Bioanalyzer (Agilent 2100).
- Miseq mass sequencer Illumina).
- Affymetrix array unit.
- Real-time PCR system (BioRad CFX96 Touch and Illumina Eco).
- “Chef Mapper XA” pulsed field electrophoresis unit.
Portfolio of services:
The main applications offered by the IdISBa in the field of genomics are:

- Miseq mass sequencer (Illumina).
- 15 Gb and 25M readings per sequencing.
- DNAseq and RNAseq panel sequencing.
- NGS library preparation and quality control.
- Affymetrix array unit enabling studies of:
- RNA expression profiles (messenger and non-coding).
- Micro-RNA expression profiles.
- Splicing isoform-level studies.
- High-resolution cytogenetic studies for analysing gains and losses, and absence of heterozygosity.
- Real-time PCR system (BioRad CFX96 Touch and Illumina Eco).
- Chef Mapper XA” pulsed field electrophoresis unit.
- Bioinformatic analysis of the genomic databases:
- Studies of differential expression of genes, miRNAs and lncRNAs.
- Correlation studies of the miRNA-mRNA expression profiles.
- Studies of functional enrichment and identification of altered pathways in the clinical context.
