The NUSeq Core facility provides full next-gen sequencing (NGS) capability to Northwestern University. The core brings together in-house NGS data generation and bioinformatics support in a single integrated operation. As the only Northwestern core facility dedicated to NGS, NUSeq serves scientists on both the Chicago and Evanston campuses, as well as those at external academic and commercial organizations.
Before initiating a project, it is advisable to consult with NUSeq on your specific project needs and request a quote on the associated cost. For general information, visit the links below.
NUSeq offers a fleet of sequencers that spans all major Illumina sequencing technologies, from MiSeq to HiSeq 4000.
We work with two of the most widely adopted microarray platforms, the Affymetrix GeneChip and the Illumina BeadArray.
Standard or custom NGS and microarray data analysis is provided as integrated with data production services, or standalone.
Cell lines are authenticated, or tracked during cell passaging, using the STR profiling method.
Bio-Rad QX200 ddPCR and Thermo Fisher QuantStudio 7 Flex qPCR systems are provided for walk-in use.
NUSeq Core offers traditional sequencing services through a partnership with ACGT.
