The ’EcogenO’ core facility belongs to the University of Rennes and the CNRS (France). The platform, which specialises in environmental genomics, offers original approaches and promotes the transfer of knowledge and expertise in the field.

Expertise

The EcogenO core facility offers the implementation and support of sequencing projects, from library preparation to primary bioinformatics analyses of the data generated by our NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) equipment. We provide a self-service access to different state of the art equipment to users who have been previously trained..
The EcogenO platform also carries out high throughput quantitative PCR projects using Takara’s smartchip system, working on 5184-well plates. This technology also allows genotyping and high throughput preparation of amplicon libraries.

Since 2019, the EcogenO Platform started single cells experiments using CellenOne equipment, which particularly avoids doublets. Developments to efficiently prepare Single Cell libraries are ongoing
