OICR Genomics
and Bioinformatics platform

Home of bioinformatics and genomics experts, eager to collaborate with you on:

Next-generation sequencing for human and non-human cancer genomics
Working with challenging or precious samples
Moving genomics workflows to labs with automated platforms
Computational analysis of genomic data

Impressive Track Record

In the last five years OICR's Genomics & Bioinformatics team has contributed to a variety of human cancer projects including ones researching Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC), Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer, Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, and Leukemia.

Project Collaborations

Proper sample preparation will help avoid creating single cell expression data like this. About 50% of the data is in the lower right cluster of blue points, which is enriched in dying cells and not the focus of the study that this data came from.
