About NorSeq


Norway’s National Sequencing Infrastructure

NorSeq brings together five expert sequencing nodes in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Tromsø and the national cancer node, providing advanced genomic technologies and expertise to researchers across Norway.
Together, the nodes provide short- and long-read sequencing, single-cell and spatial multi-omics, high-throughput automation, and advanced bioinformatics.

About NorSeq

A National Network for Genomic Research

Five expert nodes combine complementary technologies, infrastructure and expertise to make advanced sequencing and genomic analysis accessible to researchers across Norway.

NorSeq is Norway’s national sequencing infrastructure, connecting leading genomics environments in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Tromsø together with a dedicated national cancer node.
Across the network, the centres provide end-to-end support — from study design and sample preparation to library construction, sequencing, data processing and bioinformatics analysis.
The combined infrastructure supports research across medicine, cancer, basic biology, marine science, ecology and translational science. The individual nodes contribute complementary expertise, technologies and services, allowing researchers to access a broad range of genomic approaches within one national infrastructure.

Five Nodes, Complementary Expertise

NorSeq combines five established genomics environments, each contributing specialised infrastructure and expertise to the national network.
NorSeq Oslo provides high-throughput short- and long-read sequencing with extensive automation and computational infrastructure.
NorSeq Bergen provides end-to-end genomic services spanning experimental design, sequencing, bioinformatics, training and data-management support.
NorSeq Trondheim combines genomic technologies with close integration between NTNU and St. Olavs Hospital, supporting biomedical, translational and broader biological research.
NorSeq Tromsø provides comprehensive sequencing support from experimental design and laboratory processing through bioinformatics, publication and sequence-data deposition.
NorSeq-Cancer provides cancer-focused genomics and multi-omics services, including tumour profiling, liquid biopsies, single-cell and spatial applications.

What NorSeq Provides

From Experimental Design to Data Analysis

01

Study Design & Sample Preparation

NorSeq teams support researchers with experimental design, sample quality assessment, library preparation and selection of appropriate sequencing technologies.

02

Sequencing & Multi-Omics

Across the network, NorSeq provides short- and long-read sequencing together with single-cell, spatial, transcriptomic, epigenomic and other specialised genomic technologies.

03

Bioinformatics & Data Support

NorSeq provides data processing and bioinformatics support ranging from sequencing quality assessment and standard analyses to advanced genomic workflows, training and data-management solutions.
This preserves the clean visual structure already on the page but makes every statement traceable to the material supplied by the nodes.

Capabilities Across NorSeq

The combined NorSeq infrastructure provides access to a broad spectrum of genomic and multi-omics technologies.

  • Short-Read Sequencing

Whole genome, exome, RNA, targeted, amplicon and other sequencing applications.

  • Long-Read Sequencing

PacBio and Oxford Nanopore technologies available across the network.

  • Single-Cell & Spatial

Single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomic and multi-omic technologies.

  • Genomics & Epigenomics

Genome, transcriptome, methylation, microarray and targeted applications.

  • Automation & Quality Control

Automated liquid handling and extensive DNA, RNA and library quality-control platforms.

  • Bioinformatics & Computing

Data processing, genomic analysis, computational infrastructure, training and data-management support.

Supporting Research Across Disciplines

NorSeq supports researchers across a wide range of fields, including medicine, cancer research, translational science, basic biology, marine science and ecology.
By bringing together complementary technologies and expertise across the national network, NorSeq enables researchers to select approaches suited to their scientific questions while accessing specialised support throughout the project workflow.
