Core Lab: Genomics
It is the Laboratory where Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is performed. Its vision is to contribute to strengthening research, knowledge generation, and transfer in Mexico through the generation and analysis of applied genomic data in various areas such as clinical medicine, genomic medicine, agribusiness, food, disease diagnosis, environmental sample study, genomic epidemiology, among others.

It is the only national laboratory with Illumina technology, allowing a wide diversity of samples for sequencing.
. It offers diversified sequencing services, including whole genome, exome, RNA-Seq, single-cell sequencing, shotgun metagenomics, 16s Metagenomics, targeted fragment sequencing, and environmental DNA sequencing.
Operational model that facilitates service to external researchers, with competitive prices in Latin America thanks to agreements with Illumina.
Competitive international delivery times, with highly trained specialists to execute projects in a robust, efficient, and reliable manner.
Capacity to handle custom projects in various areas such as food, medicine, agricultural industry, and diagnostics, based on the experience of the Core Lab team.
Active collaboration networks
The iSeq 100 is an ideal system for sequencing small genomes (bacteria, viruses, plasmids, etc.). It is ideal for carrying out 16s metagenomics studies.
This equipment permits deeper metagenomics studies, performing target gene sequencing, allowing us to obtain up to 15 Gb of information with 25 million readings and read lengths of 2 × 300 bp.
It is the largest equipment for short-length sequencing on the market; it is used when projects require massive sequencing of samples or to achieve greater sequencing depth and, therefore, more robust sequences.
