Bioinformatics Services

The GIGA-Bioinformatics platform provides expertise across various fields of bioinformatics, with a particular focus on analyses related to Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) experiments.

To best meet your needs, we structure our services around two main approaches: Core Services and Adaptive Services.

Core Services

Our Core Services encompass standardized pipelines and workflows that can be applied to your data without requiring customization or modifications.

To help you choose the most relevant service, we further divide Core Services into two categories: Data Processing and Downstream Analyses

These two categories represent consecutive steps in a typical NGS analysis but can also be requested independently, allowing you to select only what you truly need.

Data Processing

Starting from the FASTQ files generated after sequencing, our Data Processing service prepares your NGS data for analysis. This essential step ensures data quality and integrity and often requires significant computational resources and expertise that may not always be available to researchers.

Downstream Analyses

Our Downstream Analyses follow standardized, validated procedures tailored to different types of NGS data. These analyses are designed to extract meaningful biological insights from your processed data, ensuring robust and reliable results.

Adaptive Services

We understand that many projects require adjustments beyond standardized workflows. As long as they fall within our areas of expertise, we are fully prepared to adapt our approaches to meet your specific needs.

During an initial meeting, we will discuss the unique aspects of your project and determine how to tailor our workflows accordingly. Together, we will define the appropriate work package, and once completed, we will review the results in a follow-up meeting. This iterative process can be repeated as needed to ensure a well-managed and controlled progression of your project.

Note: Early involvement in the project is strongly recommended for Adaptive Services and co-authorship on future publications will be required.
