BEA - the core facility for Bioinformatics and Expression Analysis is a genomic service facility located at the department of Medicine Huddinge (MedH) in the NEO building at the KI south campus. BEA provides an extensive repertoire of genomic technologies to ongoing research projects principally at the Karolinska Institute but also at other Swedish universities and companies.


BEA offers extraction and quality control services of RNA/DNA, microarray processing, library preparation and sequencing services on a variety of platforms. Our goal is to facilitate research projects by providing expertise and service in the field of genomic analysis.


All projects at BEA are handled with the cloud based core facility management system iLab which is connected to the identity management system used by KI. All BEA users need to be registered and approved by PIs in iLabs to initiate a project request at BEA. After registration in iLabs BEA staff will create a project for the customer to approve.
A friendly reminder that it is the responsibility of the customer to secure and pick up remaining samples and data which will otherwise be disposed after 12 months. Although raw data will be stored for some time, the BEA core facility holds no responsibility to store preprocessed data or further analyzed data.
