Full title: The role of whole genome duplication in vertebrate adaptation
Duration: January 2018 – June 2021
Main responsible: Simen Sandve
Molecular biology lab
To expand our understanding of genome structure and function we have a suite of lab infrastructure where we can perform various genomic analyses. Core activities include sequencing and genotyping, functional genomic assays and gene editing.
CIGENE computational unit
Bioinformatics Bioinformatics is an essential and integrated part of CIGENE operations. The rapidly reduced cost of sequencing has increased demand of computational storage and analysis, and CIGENE has during the last years invested in a […]
