NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING
About
us
The University of the Free State - Next Generation Sequencing (UFS-NGS) Unit is a business research facility under the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Genomes tell unique stories. In recent years the rapid evolution of microbes courtesy of modern techniques of sequencing have become a significant global concern, demanding that science urgently and continually adapts to an ever-changing landscape.
At the University of the Free State – Next Generation Sequencing Unit, we recognise that the future of genomics is already here. With cutting-edge sequencing technologies and bold collaborations, the Unit has positioned itself at the forefront of genomic research in Africa.
