The CCGA is one of four DFG-funded Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) centres with the mission to strengthen the biological/medical infrastructure in Germany. Their sequencing services comprise short and long read sequencing technologies as well as bioinformatics support. The CCGA offers Illumina sequencing in different throughputs and read lengths on two NovaSeq6000, one HiSeq4000, one NextSeq500 and two MiSeqs. Long read sequencing can be done on the Pacific Biosciences Sequel system. The CCGA offers a broad range of methods for RNA e.g. RNAseq, Single Cell transcriptomics or isoform sequencing as well as DNA e.g. whole genome sequencing, amplicon sequencing or exome sequencing.
