Our lab will be closed from (including) 23rd December until 1st January 2025. Please do not send samples during that time. We wish you a relaxing Christmas break and a great start into 2025.
Our NextSeq500 has been sent to the well-deserved retirement and the NextSeq1000 has joined the Illumina-gang.
Between 22nd July to 30th August 2024, we will operate with reduced capacity. Turn around times will be higher, reactions to requests might be significantly longer due to summer vacations. Samples can be sent like usual.
The DFG opened a new version of the sequencing calls with a medium sized demand (€100,000 to €1 million) of sequencing costs. One can now apply for funding together with (almost) any academic sequencing service as a co-applicant. So get in touch if you want to write a grant application!
Change of data storage policy for external users of our service. Details as well as information on who is external can be found here
Please do not send samples during our Christmas break (22.12.2023 - 02.01.2024). The institute is closed and deliveries can't be received. Happy Holidays and a great start into 2024
If you want to bring your samples in person by car, please make sure to tell the person at the gate 1) that you bring valuable samples for sequencing analysis to IKMB and 2) make sure to tell them the name of at least one contact person. Access is strictly reduced and they will refuse to open the gate in case you can't provide enough detail! Then you'll have to walk from Olshausentraße to our institute.
We are offering a workshop on fundamentals of transcriptomic data analysis here at the institut. If you are interested and relatively new in single cell and spatial transcriptomics, are free on 25th -27th of October and would like to meet a range of others like you as well as accomplished scientists in the field: visit and join us! Program can be found here
The majority of our platform will be on summer break in August, so turn around times will be increased and requests will be processed slower!
We will have a hopefully short maintenance stop of our system today, 7.7.2023 at noon. We will hopefully be back at 1 pm. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Our sequencing service is currently experiencing a high volume of orders. As a result, turnaround times may be longer than usual, and we may have to turn down certain orders. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to process all orders as efficiently as possible. Thank you for your understanding
this is especially important to those of you who have submitted data before: we have a new upload file that is hopefully more convenient and has better explanations. It includes also options for multiple plate uploads at once etc. So please update what you have here
Please do not send samples during our Christmas break (23.12.2022 - 02.01.2023). The institute is closed and deliveries can't be received. Happy Holidays and a great start into 2023
The DFG opened the 5th Call for scientific NGS projects with a medium sized demand (€100,000 to €1 million) of sequencing costs. The submission of a letter of intent is due March 15th, 2022. Applications must be submitted to the DFG no later than the June 1st, 2022.
Due to global reagent shortages, we can not accept all projects for the time being. We will try to serve all existing collaboration partners, but might turn down new requests, especially from outside Schleswig-Holstein.
The DFG opened the 4th Call for scientific NGS projects with a medium sized demand (€100,000 to €1 million) of sequencing costs. The submission of a letter of intent is due 21st April 2021. Applications must be submitted to the DFG no later than the 25th August 2021.
Due to the already dire situation regarding turn around times and work load, we decided to not accet new projects, unless the project has already been planned with us. We are truly sorry, but the situation at the moment doesn't allow for more samples in house.
In the framework of the CorSurV of the Bundesregierung, CCGA together with the diagnostics of UKSH established sequencing of SARS-Cov2 strains.
Please do not send samples during our Christmas break (22.12.2020 - 04.01.2021). The institute is closed and deliveries can't be received. Happy Holidays and a great start into a hopefully better2021
The DFG extended the funding period for the sequecning network by two years! Unfortunately, we - and many others - have problems getting our hands onto plastic ware due to the increased molecular diagnostics during the pandemic. We have now run out of pipette tips and can't process projects as planned. Dear Users of the CCGA sequencing platform. Due to high high sample volumes we currently have an estimated turnaround time of 12 weeks The DFG postponed the deadline for the third call to 9th September 2020 9th September 2020. Dear users of the platform, we are on "emergency service only" at the moment until after Easter due to the precautions taken to limit the spread of Corona. We will do our best to help out as much as possible, but projects will proceed slow and some things may not be possible at all for now. Do not hesitate to contact us anyway via phone, e-meetings, e-mail and stay healthy! Please do not send samples during our Christmas break (19.12.2019 - 06.01.2020). The institute is closed and deliveries can't be received. Happy Holidays and a great start into 2020 The DFG opened the 3rd Call for scientific NGS projects with a medium sized demand (€100,000 to €1 million) of sequencing costs. The submission of a letter of intent is due 14 January 2020. Applications must be submitted to the DFG no later than the 9 June 2020. We are happy to introduce our new homepage and inculded ordering tool. Register for an account by clicking the Login button! For more details, see the press announcement of the DFG, unfortunately only in German "Free of charge sequencing"-call by the EASI-genomics consortium. Application deadline 1st call: 25th April 2019.
