We are currently expanding our instrument park and soon we will be able to double the sequencing rate, making us the second
largest sequencing lab in Europe.»
NIST's reference DNA will enable
gene sequencing labs to compare and calibrate their results to the same standard.
The largest
DNA sequencing labs funded by the U.S. government and by the Wellcome Trust, a British charity, endorsed very similar principles for data release at a meeting of top genome sequencers in Bermuda in 1996.
The CCG is a state - of - the - art facility composed of
a sequencing lab, frozen DNA collection, and computing resources that serves as the Academy's core genetic center.
The collaboration resulted in the creation of a community point of view and kept the labs with a biological orientation in touch with
the sequencing labs.
