The aim of the infrastructure is to establish technologies for massive parallel sequencing (MPS) and large-­‐scale SNP genotyping and enable the use of these technologies for the Swedish research community. It has been established by the Swedish Research Council (VR) and is hosted by SciLifeLab Sweden. Or goal is to provide Swedish academia with state of the art technology tools for sequencing and genotyping. We operate all major sequencing plaIorms: Illumina HiSeq, MiSeq, SOLiD, Ion Torrent, Ion Proton, Pacific Bioscience and Argus opQcal mapping. The NGI road trip aims to spread knowledge about the infrastructure and the research possibiliQes. We look forward to meet researches interested in using MPS and SNP genotyping in their work and to establish new contacts and learn about their needs. The NGI directors and plaIorm coordinators wish you a warm welcome to an informaQon seminar, which will include: a presentaQon about NGI, short presentaQons from local PIs with experience in collaboraQon with the infrastructure, and individual project consultaQons with anyone who could be interested. Hope to see you there! NGI staff 2014 Road Trip October 14th (Umeå, KBC-­‐huset, room KBF 30) 13:00 – 13:05 NGI welcome.
