Core Capabilities
The Frederick Sequencing and Genomics Core (FSGC) was established through the integration and consolidation of the former Sequencing Facility and the Genomics Technology Laboratory. The new FSGC eliminates redundancy and provides cutting edge sequencing technologies and assay development capabilities to the NCI. NGS services are made available to NIAID's Division of Intramural Research (DIR) through a negotiated MOU.
Effective October 1, 2025, FSGC will discontinue array-based (e.g., methylation, genotyping) and routine Illumina NGS services (RNA-seq, WES, WGS) where “routine” refers to services for high-quality samples from cell lines or animal models. For assistance with external vendor options, please contact Mariam Malik and/or Chris McGinity.

To Request Services
To request services from the CCR FSGC, submit online request through NAS. Prior to filling out a NAS request, you are encouraged to consult with FSGC groups to discuss your project design and bioinformatics analysis. Don’t worry If you don’t know the exact sub category of your request. We will re-assign the request to the correct sub-service category.
