LIGAN platform – Personnalized Medicine

UMR 1283 / 8199
plateforme ligan pasteur lille

Presentation

Located in EGID building on the site of the Lille University Hospital, the LIGAN-PM platform is dedicated to next-generation sequencing and other state-of-the-art genomic technologies. Our sequencing and genotyping systems are primarily dedicated to precision medicine. However, the platform is opened to all applications related to genetics and genomics regardless of species. This platform includes several sequencing systems (MiSeq, NextSeq, NovaSeq), various robots for library preparation, a platform dedicated to genotyping and other state-of-the-art systems of genetics and genomics (such as NanoString).

The platform includes several groups of people :

  • A group dedicated to biobank, for sample reception, DNA/RNA extraction, and sample storage.
  • A group dedicated to next-generation sequencing (NGS) for the development and application of protocols.
  • A group dedicated to genotyping (via DNA arrays) for the analyses of methylation and genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
  • A group dedicated to bioinformatics.
  • A group dedicated to biostatistics.
  • A group dedicated to the management of computing resources.
  • A group dedicated to the quality management system.

Highlights

  • The platform has been labelled ISO15189 (Medical Laboratory) allowing us to perform genetic diagnosis based on whole-exome sequencing or whole-genome sequencing. The platform has primarily been funded by an Equipement d’Excellence award (EquipEx). Beyond genetic diagnosis, the platform is opened to any requests related to genetics or genomics of academic or private laboratories.
