The Genomics & Transcriptomics Laboratory (GTL) is operated by the Biological And Medical Research Center (BMFZ), a central scientific facility of the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf. The GTL is available as a cooperation partner in the field of nucleic acid analysis and also conducts independent research. The GTL can cooperate with internal and external academic research groups and support them in genome and transcriptome analyses. For this purpose, the GTL uses various large-scale instruments for the analysis of DNA and RNA (see listing of scientific instruments). Since 2010, the GTL has been working with a quality management system. The certification according to DIN EN/ISO 9001:2015 (certificate registration no. 01 100 101390) is valid for RNA and DNA quality control (QC), Sanger sequencing, DNA fragment analysis and 'Next Generation Sequencing' (NGS): 'short-read' and 'long-read' technologies, including single cell transcriptome analyses.
