BEA Core Facility

BEA provides resources and services to support research needs for high-throughput genomics. The analyses are performed with different sequencing and microarray platforms which support a number of different applications. Among new applications that have been tested and implemented recently are the 10X chromium platform for genomic analysis in single cells and RRBS, reduced representation bisulfite sequencing, for analysing genomic DNA methylation patterns. BEA operates as a core facility offering services with a strict “fee-for-service” and “firstcome-first-served” principle. The overall principle for financing the operations at BEA is that customer fees cover costs for reagents, smaller operating investments, service agreements and KI indirect costs (INDI).

BEA advertises the services on the BEA website, where information about the platforms, the different assays provided and updated pricelists for the different types of analysis can be found. A project can be initiated usually after consultation and information about the different available analysis methods and after an order form is formally signed. The queue time for a project at BEA will start when samples are handed to the core facility.
