The Biomics Platform is the C2RT structure at Institut Pasteur for short- and long-read Next Generation Sequencing technologies. You will find all the detailed information on our services and processes on the Biomics website.
All information you submit through the project submission form will be publicly displayed on the biomics.pasteur.fr webpage (open data), except the Confidential information block, which is visible only to the Biomics curation team.
The mission of the Biomics Platform is to facilitate scientific discovery within the network of the Institut Pasteur and academic research institutes. Biomics accepts all types of projects and works closely with the DBC and the DSI to provide data analysis and storage solutions for researchers. The members of the Biomics Platform provide advice on the implementation of projects, which applicants are free to follow or not. In the latter case, the Biomics Platform reserves the right not to be cited in publications derived from these projects.
The Wet-Lab, Dry-Lab and Support-Lab activities (Sample QC, library, choice of technology, sequencing, design, tools, software and bioinformatic analysis) represent a significant amount of time for Biomics staff. This expertise is central to our services and integral to the successful execution of your scientific project.
Any publication derived from a Biomics project should at least include the following formal acknowledgment at the end of the article*: “Names Surnames, Biomics Platform, C2RT, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France, supported by France Génomique (ANR-10-INBS-09) and IBISA.”
*A good-faith discussion about authorship will take place based on the involvement of Biomics staff.
Raw data is stored and archived at Biomics for up to 5 years (data transfer is free of charge for 2 years). A contribution to the cost of disk space is included in the quote. Applicants agree that their data may be used for internal development projects. Please download our Data Management Plan.
Researchers should specify how they wish any remaining biological material to be handled once the project has finished; otherwise, it will be destroyed by Biomics after 1 year.
Human Samples: IMPORTANT: Applicants hereby confirm that they are in possession of all necessary authorizations for the analysis of the samples.
