NU-OMICS takes part in the launch of Northumbria University's Higgs HPC cluster
Northumbria University has teamed up with Lenovo and Logicalis to launch a state-of-the-art high-performance computing (HPC) facility, named after Newcastle born Professor Peter Higgs.
The Higgs HPC cluster will give researchers university-wide the capability to quickly process large datasets and NU-OMICS plans to use that computing power to drive their genomics analysis and research.
Read more about Higgs on Northumbria University’s website and check out how NU-OMICS’s work on COVID-19 highlights the benefits of the new Higgs HPC facility.
The Festival of Genomics while launching SPRQ at NU-OMICS
While Professor Darren Smith and Dr Andrew Nelson attend the Festival of Genomics in London, back in NU-OMICS, PacBio’s new SPRQ chemistry is trialled for the first time.
NU-OMICS is set to offer PacBio’s new SPRQ chemistry upon launch as the first library is loaded during London’s Festival of Genomics 2025. PacBio’s new SPRQ chemistry for the Revio sequencing platform is set to revolutionise HiFi sequencing. The kit is set to increase data generation by 30% while reducing DNA input by 75% leading to increased affordability for ground breaking research.
