The Andalusian Human Genome Sequencing Center (CASEGH) is a project fostered by the Andalusian Regional Ministry of Health comprising state-of-the-art technology with a high performance Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platform equipped with 11 sequencers (Roche 454 and SOLiD 4) and a bioinformatic platform with a dedicated high-end computing cluster and a data storage infrastructure for sequence data analysis and annotation. The Medical Genome Project (MGP) is one of the first singular projects to be carried out at CASEGH. MGP’s goal is to directly characterize mutations and structural variations causative of disease for a large number of genetically-based disorders, by exome and complete genome sequencing.
Functions:
• Management and organization of Scientific and Project activities under the supervision of the board of Directors.
• Coordination of the activities of the sequence production laboratory, bioinformatics analysis team and data validation group insuring the successful discovery and annotation of new variations relating to disease.
• Promotion and supporting high quality research in genomic medicine for the Andalusian Public Health System.
• Promote the use of the facilities and increase its national and International visibility by alliances, collaborations or external services.
• Serving as the primary liaison between the Andalusian Human Genome Sequencing Center and the Fundación Progreso y Salud on administrative and policy issues.
