About
The McGill Applied Genomics Innovation Core (MAGIC) houses state-of-the-art equipment and multidisciplinary expertise to produce, manage and interpret large amounts of genomics data generated at low cost and with high quality.
Our supporting infrastructure includes the latest sequencers from Illumina, Pacific Biosciences, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, and Ultima Genomics. All sequencers are supported by process automation. Most of the current commonly employed Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) assay protocols have been introduced into the production pipelines including ChIPseq, RNAseq, Exome-seq, WGS, WGBS, and other epigenomic protocols. Standard operating procedures have been defined for all experimental steps and workflows are LIMS-controlled.
