Genomics Core Facility

The HiSeq 4000 build upon the existing HiSeq 2500 platform using the new HiSeq X patterned flow cell technology, providing unparalleled speed and performance. The dual-flow cell HiSeq 4000 System delivers the highest throughput and lowest price per sample across multiple applications. The new sequencer will provide users will faster turnaround time (run time is 3 days compared to 6-11 days in HiSeq 2500) and higher quality, more data per run and longer reads (150 bp paired-end).

The Oslo University Hospital Genomics and Bioinformatics Core Facilities will relocate to the new Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation park to colocalise with the section for Molecular Pathology. The colocalisation will facilitate the technology and competence transfer from our genomics environment to accelerate the implementation of high-throughput sequencing for clinical stratification of cancer patients.
