🧬 #InsideUNLBiotech: BIOINFORMATICS
@unl-bcrf.bsky.social

We turn large biological datasets into insight—analyzing genomics, transcriptomics, single-cell, microbiomes & more. We also manage data & life science software on UNL’s supercomputer.

Reach out today:🔗 go.unl.edu/bcrf

🧫 #InsideUNLBiotech: SINGLE CELL GENOMICS

We analyze individual cells to uncover variability often hidden in whole tissue sequencing. Our methods barcode, amplify, and prepare samples for high-res genome & transcriptome analysis.

Reach out today:🔗 go.unl.edu/scg

🔬#InsideUNLBiotech: MICROSCOPY

Our Core helps explore shapes, sizes, surfaces, and structures of biological and chemical materials.
We offer light, confocal, and electron microscopes—capturing details 600,000× smaller than the eye can see.
