Bioinformatics Services

ITER’s Genomics Service has fully automated internal bioinformatics workflows or pipelines specific to each service, considerably reducing the time it takes to generate results.

  • Coverage options: minimum 30x.
  • Library preparation: Illumina DNA Prep or Illumina DNA PCR-Free Prep, among others.
  • Human WGS quality controls.
    • The sequenced samples are subject to stringent quality control protocols, including integrity analysis and analysis of nucleic acid concentration and removal of impurities.
    • In silico sex determination from sequencing data.
  • We perform de novo assembly for reference-free genomes.
  • Disponible en el secuenciador NovaSeq 6000 (hasta 28 genomas humanos completos por célula de flujo, 90 Gb/genoma, >30x, 2×150 pb). Possibility to design experiments per flow cell and per line.
  • Low coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) will soon be available on both second and third generation sequencers.

In the case of non-human WGS, please note that we can customise the preparation and sequencing of the organism of interest. Please contact us without obligation. Other species: viruses, bacteria, vascular plants, other mammals, etc.

  • Library preparation: Illumina DNA Prep with Exon 2.5 Enrichment.
  • We also have experience in using the Agilent SureSelect HS2 XT (v8) exome capture kit and adapting protocols to other insert size options.
  • Available on the NovaSeq 6000 sequencer for projects (up to 200 exomes at 100x with 2 x 100 bp reads).
    Possibility to design experiments per flow cell and per lane.
  • Available on the NextSeq 550 sequencer for pilot projects and projects with a small number of samples or urgent projects (6 exomes at 100x with 2 x 75 bp reads).
  • Our team has processed several thousand exomes from different national and foreign research centres and health institutions.

The HPC infrastructure (https://teidehpc.iter.es/infraestructura/) enables completely secure access, storage and data transfer. Hosted at the Neutral Access Point (NAP) and associated with the D-Alix project, it offers high availability and security 365x7x24 for power supply (TIER IV) and climate control (TIER III+) (https://www.iter.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Folleto-D-ALiX.pdf). Detailed information and documentation to facilitate the connection to the HPC infrastructure can be found here (https://doc.hpc.iter.es/). Please contact our team.
