South Australian Genomics

Centre (SAGC) – Flinders Node

FHMRI Facilities Genomics Facility

The South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) was established in July 2020 as a state-wide genomics facility to support research in South Australia, as well as nationally and internationally. 

The SAGC is a partnership between the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), University of South Australia, Flinders University, The University of Adelaide, the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF), and the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI). Its establishment was supported by an investment of >$7 million, including $2 million from BioPlatforms Australia (BPA).

The SAGC central hub is located in the iconic SAHMRI building in the heart of Adelaide's Biomed City and has additional nodes on the Waite Campus and at Flinders University. The SAGC is pleased to support researchers and clinicians from all our partners institutes as well as industry partners and other external clients.

SERVICES

The SAGC provides a broad range of services including  RNA sequencing, small RNA sequencing, exome and genome sequencing, epigenomics, metagenomics, single cell genomics and a range of custom methods. These services are supported by a dedicated Bioinformatics Platform that support users of the facility by developing advanced and customised approaches for data analysis, integration and visualisation. All areas of genomics including animal, plant, environmental, microbial, and human genomics are supported.

The South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) provides a broad range of services including:

  • Next generation sequencing
  • Whole genome
  • Whole Exome and Targeted Panels
  • Epigenome
  • Single Cell Sequencing
  • Microbiome and Custom Target
  • Spatial Transcriptomics
  • RNA Sequencing 
  • SANGER Sequencing

MiSeq System – illumina keyboard_arrow_up

MiSeq sequencing by synthesis chemistry is the most widely adopted next-generation sequencing technology. Data quality is  achieved by a proprietary, reversible terminator-based method that detects single bases as they are incorporated into massively parallel DNA strands. The MiSeq generates up to 25 million, 2 x 300 bp paired end reads, or 10 Gb of sequence data.

NextSeq - illumina keyboard_arrow_up

The NextSeq 500 desktop sequencing system provides the flexible power and simplicity you need to analyse whole genomes, exomes, and transcriptomes. The NextSeq generates up to 400 million reads, 2x150 bp paired end reads, or 120 Gb of sequence data.

NovaSeq - illumina keyboard_arrow_up

The NovaSeq 6000 System is a powerful and efficient ultra-high-throughput sequencing system that supports the broadest range of applications and study sizes. The NovaSeq system generates up to 6TB and 20 billion reads.

 

LabChip GX Touch 24 Capillary Electrophoresis – Perkin Elmer keyboard_arrow_up

The Lab Chip utilises microfluidic technology to qualitatively and quantitatively analyse nucleic acid samples.

Pippin Prep – Sage Science keyboard_arrow_up

The Pippin Prep is a preparative electrophoresis platform that separates and extracts DNA fragments using pre-cast and disposable gel cassettes. The DNA is automatically collected in buffer according to software-input size ranges. Each pre-cast gel contains 5 lanes.

Covaris M220 - Covaris keyboard_arrow_up

The Covaris is a DNA/RNA shearing method that uses Adaptive Focused Acoustics (AFA) technology under isothermal conditions to maintain the integrity of the nucleic acid sample. Mechanical shearing with AFA technology is the gold standard for nucleic acid fragmentation during DNA library preperation.
