What We Do
Our program’s mission is to enable complete genomic knowledge that guides the clinical management of cancer patients.
To this end, we:
- Evaluate and provide access to emerging genome technologies;
- Industrialize research-grade protocols for high-throughput use; and
- Implement clinical-grade assays for use in genome-guided clinical research trials.
Our Technology Platform
As one of Ontario’s most advanced sequencing facilities, we can provide support throughout each stage of your project, from initial project design to data analysis using one of Canada’s largest compute infrastructures.
In compliance with ISO 15189, we are committed to upholding high standards of data security and robust infrastructure that are valued by collaborators around the world. We utilize a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS), Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), and highly-trained personnel to provide superior quality next generation sequencing services. We are seeking accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and the Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare (IQMH), and should receive this distinction in early 2021.
Our sequencing suite, located in downtown Toronto, Ontario, is equipped with: - Illumina NovaSeq 6000 - Illumina HiSeq 2500 - Illumina MiSeq - Illumina NextSeq 550 - Oxford Nanopore MinION
