OUR CAPABILITY
Transforming our ability to understand and manage our environment through world-leading science.
NEOF PILOT COMPETITIONS
Test adventurous genomic, metabolomic and proteomic ideas and generate pilot data to support applications for larger-scale studies.
2025 Early Career Researchers pilot round: Successful applicants will be notified by end May 2025 and will need to submit their samples by 1st December 2025.
Due to very recent funding cuts for the Apr 2025 to March 2026 financial year, we have had to take the difficult decision to cancel the summer 2025 Independent Pilot competition. We will review the situation in 2026.
New generation sequencing
We provide the latest Illumina and Pacific Biosciences platforms for applications including population genomics, transcriptomics and de novo sequence assembly. This capability allows users to generate a reference genome for their study organism which then unlocks the latest genomic methods to examine genome wide genetic diversity through resequencing, the response of its genes to the environment through RNAseq, epigenetic programming using methylation analysis and much more.
Isoform analysis
We provide full-length analysis of transcripts to understand the diversity of different splice variants produced by a gene, to support characterisation of proteomic diversity and to annotate de novo genomes.
Epigenomics
We provide methylation analysis to understand epigenetic modifications of the genome and its consequences for gene expression, development and phenotype.
Quantitative proteomics
We offer a wide range of mass-spec instrumentation for accurate and sensitive quantification to protein signatures to discover differences between treatments and, coupled with genomics, can support analyses with de novo genomes and transcriptomes. Read more about Proteomics at NEOF: NEOF Proteomics FAQs, Case Studies.
Quantitative metabolomics
We offer GC and LC mass spectrometry, as well as vibrational spectroscopy, to analyse metabolites and other small molecules at high sensitivity and specificity from environmental mixtures. Read more about Metabolomics at NEOF; Case Studies.
Single-cell omics
We provide capability in single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics and RAMAN spectroscopy to analyse the heterogeneity among cell populations from environmental communities or from within an individual.
