In late 2020, NERC commissioned a new environmental omics facility. The new two node NERC Environmental Omics Facility (NEOF) is based at the Universities of Liverpool and Sheffield and replaces the current three node NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility (NBAF) based at the Universities of Edinburgh, Liverpool and Sheffield. The general expectation is that most requests for genomic services for...

To ask us for a quote or for feedback on your planned project please email our team:
Please tell us as much as you can about your planned project. We will follow up as soon as possible by email and then with further discussions by email or phone as needed.
Include the following information if possible:
- Your contact details and also the PI / budget holder's contact details (if different)?
- Is this already funded or this for a grant application? If funded, which funding body?
- Sequencing type (Short read; long read; RNA-seq; whole genome sequencing; exome/targeted; metagenomics; metabarcoding)?
- Species?
- Depth of sequencing or number of reads or lanes? (We can advise if you're not sure)
- Are you supplying DNA/RNA samples or pre-prepared sequencing libraries? How many?
- Note: we are currently unable to do library preps for short read sequencing. We and Illumina can assist with your own library prep questions.
- Do you need bioinformatics support in addition to data QC and delivery? .
- Please describe the analysis you'd like us to perform (e.g. RNA-seq analysis, variant calling, genome assembly etc)
- We can analyse data generated at other sequencing facilities or in you own lab
If you had a quote or project with us previously that you'd like to replicate, mention an ID and we'll use that.
