THE NEW GENOMIC WORLD OF WILD WORMS

Caenorhabditis elegans, affectionately referred to as “the worm,” is one of the prettiest and most informative of the model organisms. It is see-through, has a simple lifecycle and a remarkably simple anatomy, and it has been the foundation for many major discoveries. Indeed the worm —in collaboration with outstanding human scientists— has won several Nobel prizes. However, C. elegans is also...

New pricing structure

Ladies and Gentlemen, Since our recent announcement of a new pricing structure for Edinburgh Genomics, Illumina announced an above-inflation increase in their reagent pricing. We unfortunately have to pass a proportion of this increase on to users of our Illumina services. Our new prices will come into effect immediately and will be reflected in all future quotes. Please contact Helen Gunter, our...

Pricing changes at Edinburgh Genomics

Dear Colleagues Edinburgh Genomics has undergone a major reorganisation in the last few months, with the initiation of the new Clinical Genomics (aka HiSeqX) Division, and the consolidation of the activities of the Genome Science Division (all our non-whole human genome activities). After months of planning, the first HiSeqX instruments have been delivered to EG labs at the Roslin Institute, and...

Edinburgh Genomics takes delivery of its first two HiSeqX

As part of the Scottish Genome Partnership, Edinburgh Genomics has taken delivery of its first two HiSeqX sequencing machines. These are the first part of an installation of 15 state-of-the-art instruments, divided between The Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, which will push the sequencing of whole human genomes to a new level. Researchers will be able to study the genomes of both healthy...

Exploring and exploiting the microbiome

The rise of metagenomics has allowed us to explore the human microbiome and that of domestic livestock, plants and the environment, offering interesting opportunities to exploit this knowledge for the health and wellbeing of all. The aim of this event is to raise awareness about Scotland’s considerable expertise in this area and to build links to support collaboration for the future. Taking the...
