Research Services
The Biomedical Sequencing Facility (BSF) is an academic core facility and center of expertise for next generation sequencing (NGS) with more than 10 years experience in NGS.
The BSF offers advice and consulting for NGS experiments, NGS service (library preparation and sequencing) and bioinformatic data analysis to researchers and clinicians in Vienna, in Austria, and internationally.
The NGS protocols offered by the BSF include genome, transcriptome, epigenome and single-cell sequencing on short- and long-read sequencing platforms.
Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
The Biomedical Sequencing Facility (BSF) is Austria’s first technology platform dedicated to next generation sequencing in biomedicine and is thus expected to play a catalyzing role in the country’s development of genomic medicine.
The BSF not only operates next generation sequencing for Vienna’s medical campus (and beyond), but it also provides technological expertise and bioinformatic services for basic researchers and clinicians. Furthermore, it contributes to several flagship projects aimed at establishing proof-of-concept for genomic medicine in Austria.
