Welcome to BEA - the core facility for Bioinformatics and Expression Analysis at the Karolinska Institute. As a part of the Department of Biosciences and Nutrition we are located at Novum, KI South Campus in Huddinge. The aim of BEA is to provide an extensive repertoire of genomic technologies to ongoing research projects and thereby contribute to the success of those projects. BEA provides services for genomic analysis based on the Affymetrix, Agilent, Illumina and ABI platforms for microarrays and qPCR. This includes gene expression and RNA splicing analysis, transcriptome and DNA-binding analysis, epigenetic analysis including DNA-methylation and miRNA analysis, genome wide SNP and copy number variation analysis. We are also offering services for RNA and DNA purification, nucleic acid quality control and different qPCR based assays. Our services are extensive and ranges from experimental planning to bioinformatic support. Recent additions at BEA include the Affymetrix GeneTitan automated microarray system and a Biomek FXP PCR robot which will improve throughput, minimize the variability and reduce the cost of analyses. At present, the core facility is financed by grants from the Karolinska Institutet, the Karolinska University Hospital and user fees.
Jessica has a long experience of microarray analysis and will assist in data analysis and bioinformatics.
BEA can now offer methylation analysis of Illumina microarrays. The results has been promising so far.
