Genomics and Transcriptomics

OPAL offers a comprehensive suite of leading-edge genomics and transcriptomics services powered by short- and long-read sequencing technologies.

We support end-to-end sequencing workflows, from DNA and RNA extraction and purification to library preparation, sequencing and bioinformatics.

We are proud to support projects of all sizes from amplicons to whole genome sequencing, as well as transcriptome analyses yielding insights into the identity and abundance of RNA transcripts from a range of sources.

Our genomics and transcriptomics platforms include instruments from PacBio (Revio), Illumina (NovaSeq 6000, MiSeq) and Element BioScience (AVITI).
