Epitranscriptomics & Sequencing (EpiRNA-Seq)
- Next-Generation Sequencing, RNA, RNA modifications
The Epitranscriptomics and Sequencing (EpiRNA-Seq) Core Facility is built on the expertise of the UMR7365 IMoPA in the field of RNA molecular biology to promote its main collaborative services.
Located on the Brabois-Santé campus of the University of Lorraine in Nancy, it provides to the academic and industrial scientific community high-tech resources (Illumina next generation sequencers). It is part of the European COST EPITRAN network and regularly organises training activities.
The core facility has recognized technical and methodological know-how to contribute to various projects in Epitranscriptomics (RiboMethSeq, AlkAniline-Seq, HydraPsiSeq) to address various scientific questions such as dynamics of post-transcriptional modifications in RNAs.
The EpiRNA-Seq Core Facility operates mainly in collaborative mode (involvement of members of the core facility in the steps of your sequencing project from the conception of the experimental design to the statistical analysis of the data) but the delivery mode (mainly sequencing of libraries prepared by you without involvement of the platform) is also possible under certain conditions. The EpiRNA-Seq Core Facility has a differential pricing system (Université de Lorraine members, academics and industrialists).
The EpiRNA-Seq Core Facility is open to the academic and industrial scientific community at the local, national and international level.
The team is at your disposal to help you by bringing its technical and methodological know-how and to follow you from A to Z in your sequencing projects.
The EpiRNA-Seq Core Facility has a differential pricing system (Université de Lorraine members, academic and industrial).
Any new collaborator must first contact the head of the core facility using the "Request form" to define the best strategy to adopt for conducting his study, and obtain a quote. Any user will agree to accept the "terms and conditions". The guidelines to prepare and send samples to the Core Facility are given in "Sample sheet".
