Cloud Storage of NGS data

With our cloud storage service, you no longer have to worry about long term storage, capacity, maintenance or security of your data. By opting for Gold Tier cloud storage, you no longer need to secure your own hardware or get worried about your NGS data get lost.
We have two options to manage your NGS data produced in our facility:
LONG READ SEQUENCING – “Virtual PacBio Day”

Wednesday, January 26, 2021; 10:00 AM – 12:10 PM CET.
This event provides you with the opportunity to hear from your peers about their latest discoveries and how highly accurate long-read sequencing (HiFi sequencing) can help answer your toughest biological questions.
The Sequel IIe System, now available at Genomics Core Leuven, delivers a comprehensive view of genomes, transcriptomes and epigenomes.
This 2-hour event, includes:
- An introduction to the Sequel IIe System at Genomics Core Leuven
- Presentations from researchers using HiFi sequencing
- Live Q&A to interact with speakers
- A dedicated session to get your questions about HiFi sequencing answered
On-demand tutorials for those new to PacBio
Registration is closed. Stay tuned for out next event!
