Non-human genome sequencing
Karolinska Institutet (KI)
The Unit: Clinical Genomics Stockholm (https://www.scilifelab.se/units/clinical-genomics-stockholm/)
This infrastructure is part of Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) which is an academic collaboration between Swedish universities (including Karolinska Institutet) and a national research infrastructure with a focus on life science.
Clinical Genomics Stockholm unit is a research infrastructure for large-scale, genomics-based analyses using next generation sequencing technologies. The unit assists in translational research projects, in the translation of genomics-based tools to routine clinical care and also aims to improve the capability for national microbial surveillance and for pandemic preparedness.
The Service: Non-human genome sequencing
Sequencing of bacterial or viral whole genomes with the possibility of sequence analysis and strain typing.
Sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 amplicons.
Sequencing of metagenome samples (with PCR-free protocol).
This service encompasses:
o Consultation (Project design, Target capture design)
o Sample management
o DNA& RNA sequencing (microbial genomes, metagenomics)
o Bioinformatics (Bioinformatic analysis on data generated at CG)
Equipment
Our unit has access to specialized equipment that enable us to factilitate the translation of new high-throughput techniques into clinical use. These include, but are not restricted to:
• Various automatic robotic systems (BRAVO NGS Workstation, Hamilton NGS Star)
• Various systems for QC, quantification and fragment analyses (TapeStation, Quantification using fluorescent assay (Qubit, Quantit))
• Instrumentation for real time PCR and ddPCR (BioRad qPCR)
• Instrumentation for Multispectral imaging (Saphyr optical mapper)
• Sequencing platforms:
o Illumina (NovaSeq 6000, NovaSeq 6000 Dx, NovaSeq X)
o Nanopore (PromethION “access via NGI”)
o PacBio (Revio)

3T MRI Imaging data acquisition (Clinical)
Karolinska Institutet (KI)
Centre for Imaging Research (CIR) is a world-leading imaging centre at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden in collaboration with SciLIfeLab and RISE. It offers an exceptional and unique collection of core facilities for cutting-edge structural, functional, and metabolic in vivo multimodal imaging and endovascular/minimally invasive surgical techniques.
The core facility, MRI Centre, aims to catalyse novel and translational research using MRI. We offer a state-of-the-art 3 Tesla GE SIGNA Premier system-wide bore gantry and high-performance XT gradients. We support all types of MRI studies in humans, ranging from small single-centre projects to large-scale international multi-centre studies. A special focus is on offering MRI suitable for multi-modal integration such as CT, PET, EEG and MEG. The KI MRI Centre also offers a full-service lab for drawing blood and investigating psychophysiology (EDA, PPG, Eye-tracking) along with standardised image post-processing and data storage facilities with cluster computing for data analysis. In this service, we offer full support in project consultation, ethical permits and module technical support.

3T MRI Imaging data acquisition (Pre-clinical, Large animal)
Karolinska Institutet (KI)
Centre for Imaging Research (CIR) is a world-leading imaging centre at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden in collaboration with SciLIfeLab and RISE. It offers an exceptional and unique collection of core facilities for cutting-edge structural, functional, and metabolic in vivo multimodal imaging and endovascular/minimally invasive surgical techniques.
The core facilities, Karolinska Experimental Research and Imaging Centre (KERIC) and the MRI Centre, aim to catalyse novel and translatory research using MRI. At KERIC, we offer a 9.4T MRI for animals such as rabbits and small piglets (see service for small animal 9.4T MRI). A state-of-the-art 3 Tesla GE SIGNA Premier system-wide bore gantry and high-performance XT gradients are available for large animal preclinical studies. We offer specialised services for large animal models as well as ex vivo imaging and support all types of MRI studies in humans, ranging from small single-centre projects to large-scale international multi-centre studies. A special focus is on offering MRI suitable for multi-modal integration such as CT, PET, EEG and MEG. The KI MRI Centre also offers a full-service lab for drawing blood and investigating psychophysiology (EDA, PPG, Eye-tracking) along with standardised image post-processing and data storage facilities with cluster computing for data analysis. In this service, we offer full support in project consultation, ethical permits, module technical support and animal technicians.

9.4T MRI Imaging data acquisition (Pre-clinical, Small animal )
Karolinska Institutet (KI)
Centre for Imaging Research (CIR) is a world-leading imaging centre at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden in collaboration with SciLIfeLab and RISE. It offers an exceptional and unique collection of core facilities for cutting-edge structural, functional, and metabolic in vivo multimodal imaging and endovascular/minimally invasive surgical techniques.
The core facility Karolinska Experimental Research and Imaging Centre (KERIC), we have a preclinical 9.4T Bruker USR 94/30 MRI system. The state-of-the-art 9.4T MRI is equipped with single-mouse, single-rat, or double-mouse beds. It has three gradient bore sizes to arrange an effective inner diameter of 20cm (large animals), 12cm (medium animals) or 6cm (small animals). Methods in anatomical imaging, fMRI, Ex vivo, Pharmacological MRI and Cardiac imaging (CINE). For the mouse brain, a 4-channel phased array cry-coil drastically increased signal-to-noise. In this service, we offer full support in project consultation, ethical permits, module technical support, animal technicians and data analysis. We can host animals directly or indirectly through collaboration within KU (AKM) and other animal labs.
