Welcome to Nu-omics
The NU-OMICS DNA Sequencing Research Facility is a state-of-the-art, research-led service at Northumbria University. We work with both academic and industrial partners, have over 10 years of experience as a sequencing provider, and can add value to research from entry level clients to those with more experience of genomics.
ABOUT US
NU-OMICS is directed by Professor Darren Smith and staffed by experienced scientists led by Dr. Andrew Nelson. Learn about us here.

The Illumina MiSeq i100 Arrives at NU-OMICS
The arrival of Illumina’s latest sequencing platform marks the decommissioning of NU-OMICS first MiSeq.
Today NU-OMICS bids farewell to its first MiSeq, the first platform that the facility acquired in 2012 when it was established, to make room for Illumina’s latest sequencing platform. The MiSeq i100 produces a greater output of data in less time while simplifying the sequencing process.
