February-March 2026: Upcoming StemCore Tech Session - Epigenetics Edition
Four-session series featuring Diagenode (chromatin analysis workflows), EpiCypher (CUT&RUN best practices), Twist Bioscience (methylation sequencing and targeted panels), and AlidaBio (RNA modifications). Sessions cover hands-on epigenomics techniques, protocol optimization, and applications across chromatin, methylation, and epitranscriptomics research.
October 2025: In-House MinION Service Launch
Introduced Thursday long-read plasmid sequencing service at Plasmidsaurus pricing, providing local alternative with 24-hour turnaround including basic bioinformatics analysis.
August-September 2025: StemCore Tech Session - Single Cell September
Month-long series featuring Illumina, 10x Genomics, Parse Biosciences, and BD Rhapsody. Sessions compared single-cell platforms and workflows, covering microfluidics-free prep, scaling strategies, cost optimization, and platform selection.
April 2024: Chromium X Upgrade
Upgraded from Chromium iX to Chromium X, introducing on-chip multiplexing (OCM) capability. OCM enables researchers to analyze 4x 5,000-cell samples per channel instead of single 20,000-cell samples, significantly reducing costs for projects with modest cell targeting requirements.
January 2025: NovaSeq X Installation
Installed Illumina's latest NovaSeq X sequencing platform featuring XLEAP-SBS chemistry. The system delivers up to 25 billion reads per run with three flow cell options (1.5B, 10B, 25B), offering unprecedented throughput flexibility and faster turnaround times for projects from pilot studies to population-scale genomics.
