MOMA Core Center
Next Generation Sequencing service
About
MOMA Core Center provides its users with next generation sequencing data using instruments from Illumina Inc. with market leader technologies.
All our services are offered as non-profit for research groups and clinical departments at public institutions.
The Core Center was established in January 2012 by Aarhus University Hospital, the Faculty of Health at Aarhus University, and scientists at MOMA. Our team of highly trained personnel provides guidance and advice for sequencing projects.
Equipment
Our fully equipped lab, including automation using liquid handling robots, supports all common sequencing applications as well as the development of novel methodologies and protocols.
Data analysis
As per request, MOMA will perform the first level of bioinformatics data analysis (e.g. data cleanup, mapping to reference genome, generation of gene count tables) by trained and highly dedicated staff.
If you need support for subsequent downstream analysis, we refer to our collaborators at CONNECT - Center for Clinical and Genomic Data.
Publication Policy
The use of the services provided by the MOMA Core Center in publications requires acknowledgement of the center. A suggested acknowledgement is:
Library preparation / Next generation sequencing was performed by the MOMA Core Center, Department of Molecular Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.

Procedure
Please contact us for more information about our services and prices.
We will arrange a short meeting to discuss your project in detail. This will cover the approach, targeting, library preparation and data handling. Our scientists will assist you in identifying the design that fits your project best.
A customer contract including a time schedule is required before your samples can be processed.
After completion of the deep sequencing analyses, we will perform the initial data processing. The data will be handed over to you personally as agreed upon.
Typical workflow
Please, see the document Sample Requirements and Data Analysis for further details and send your request to our MOMA Core Center Request Desk at core.moma.dk
