Sequencing platform of Paris – Genom’IC Institut Cochin
GENOM’IC is one of the technological facilities of the Cochin Institute (INSERM U1016 – CNRS UMR8104 – Université Paris Descartes) labeled IBISA and open to the entire academic, industrial and hospital scientific community.
GENOM’IC offers ISO 9001 V2015 / NFX50-900 certified services in transcriptomic analysis at different scales: bulk RNA-seq analyses covering all types of RNA (coding and non-coding RNA, small RNA) from a few sorted cells to a complex tissue, single-cell analyses by scRNA-seq (based on 10X Chromium technology) and spatial analyses by spatial transcriptomics in partnership with HISTIM (based on 10X Visium technology).
GENOM’IC offers data production and bioinformatics analysis either internally or via the newly created BIOINFORMAT’IC platform. GENOM’IC also offers epigenetic analyses (Chip-seq, Cut&tag, ATAC-seq) by combining data production and analysis with quality control of RNA extracted by the teams. GENOM’IC also collaborates on the implementation of innovative technologies and provides its fleet of real-time and digital PCR devices to the Cochin Institute teams.
The team is composed of six people (engineer, assistant engineer, technician) with expertise in molecular biology and bioinformatics.
