Accessing sequencing service at EMBL GeneCore facility

• General website for information: https://www.embl.org/groups/genomics/
• Website for data download: https://faspex.embl.de/aspera/faspex

We already had a group account created with GeneCore

• The group ID for our group is: R4fsRG84i
• Type of our group: EMBL Member State Institution

To use the service, one needs to register an account for oneself, under our group account

• Contact solexateam@embl.de or genecore@embl.de for account registration

• Fill up the sample submission form and send it to GeneCore by email: https://www.embl.org/groups/genomics/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/GeneCoreSampleSubmissionForm2023.xlsx
• Ask GeneCore for the required concentration and volumes for a specific sequencing platform
• Provide the Fragment Analyzer trace profiles of the libraries together with the sample submission form.
• Talk to Julia/Celine to arrange the sample pickup via a bike delivery service (> 24h in advance).

• Once your data becomes available, you will get notified by email and the data can be downloaded on https://faspex.embl.de/aspera/faspex
• Follow the website instructions for installing Aspera Connect (a browser plugin) for downloading.
• Whether it is possible to directly download the data to sds? Haven't figured it out yet (but looking forward to a update)

• Currently sequencing runs from EMBL gene core facility are stored in sds /mnt/sds-hd/sd17d003/GeneCore
