National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI)

The National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) is an internationally leading infrastructure in genomics and a unique and exceptionally important resource for the Swedish research community.

NGI has more than 25-years of experience in providing high-throughput services in genomics to academic and industrial users in Sweden.

NGI’s constant efforts to implement emerging technologies and develop novel methods in this rapidly changing field allows it to offer a unique combination of extensive consultative support for the users in addition to biospecimen processing for diverse assays, sequencing and genotyping, as well as expert data handling.

Similar comprehensive services are not available from commercial suppliers or non-commercial genome centers.

The NGI facilities are hosted by Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) and funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR), the member universities (KTH, UU, KI, SU), SciLifeLab, and other sources, and it operates according to the guidelines of the VR Council for Research Infrastructures (VR-RFI).

In this application NGI applies for 30 MSEK/year, 34% of its yearly base funding, to support its operation and further develop its services.

Genomic analyses represent a very wide range of applications that are a cornerstone of biology, medicine and environmental science.

By providing these cutting-edge technologies, NGI enables Swedish researchers to be at the forefront of biomolecular science.
