The Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics offers four sequencing-based services for the study of the epigenome:Ìý
- ChIP-seq - analysisÌýof histone modifications and protein-DNA interactions on a genome-wide scale.
- Methyl-seq - genome-wide or targeted DNA methylation analysis.
- Nucleosome sequencingÌý(client prepared libraries).
- Whole or targeted DNA and RNA methylation by long read sequencing.Ìý

If you would like to target genes not listed above we can offer a custom short read approach based on aÌýÌýdesign. For this you would perform an initial round of PCR using a pair of gene/locus specific primers which includeÌýIllumina adapter overhangs and then submitÌýthe purified product to us for sequencing. Multiple gene targets can be pooled in a sequencing run if they are size compatible.ÌýCustom amplicons can also beÌýsequencedÌýusing Oxford Nanopore longÌýread technology.Ìý
We would be happy to advise you on our custom target sequencing, pleaseÌýcontactÌýus. -
NGS-based metagenomic sequencing can comprehensively sequence and analyse all genetic material in your complex sample. This methodÌýcan detect very low abundance members of a microbial community that may be missed by other methods providingÌýa means to study microorganisms that are otherwise difficult to analyse.ÌýContact usÌýfor a quote or assistance with the design of your project.
