The Sequencing laboratory at IdiPAZ arises from the need to provide service within the genomics area to the different research groups at the institute.

The platform is an important pillar within the traditional sequencing and genotyping of samples for research groups, but also for the different services of the hospital. These two aspects of the demand for support make the platform a translational laboratory and allow a clear benefit in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of hereditary origin.

In the last decade, high-throughput technologies such as NGS have made it possible to advance more rapidly in the understanding of inherited diseases. At this point, the platform offers support in high-performance technologies such as NGS for the screening of variants causing or possibly causing pathologies of hereditary origin.
