The Imperial BRC Genomics Facility (IGF) was formed in 2014 through a merger of the "AHSC Clinical Genome Laboratory" and the "BRC Clinical Genome Informatics Facility", bringing together multidisciplinary expertise in genome sequencing and genomic data analysis. The facility is part of the Department of Medicine and is funded by the NIHR through the Imperial Biomedical Research Centre. The mission of the Facility is to support translational research with our expertise, infrastructure, and capacity to perform the latest iterations of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data generation, single cell, spatial analysis, and computational workflows.
The facility is equipped with the latest state-of-the-art equipment and sequencing platforms that offer the highest throughput and fastest turnaround times across multiple applications. Different output of each platform makes the Facility flexible to meet various projects with various throughput needs. We also have access to dedicated high-performance computing resources at the Imperial High-Performance Computing Service and Data Centre and maintain analysis pipelines for large-scale genomic datasets from a wide range of sequencing applications.
