KIgene is a core facility at Karolinska Institutet, physically located at the Center for Molecular Medicine (CMM) at Karolinska Hospital. The facility offers genetic analyses, covering Sanger DNA sequencing, gene expression and genotyping, epigenetic analysis as well as techniques for spatial biology.
KIGene is a well-established node at KI with more than twenty-five years experiences of running a core facility. KIGene has merged with the in situ/imaging core facility at CMM, that has a 20 year track record of tissue-based expression analysis, creating a hub for spatial biology at KIGene. As a first step the GeoMX digital spatial profiling platform from NanoString Technologies has been established in 2020. The GeoMX enables spatially resolved, digital characterization of proteins or RNA on tissue slides at high multiplex. The technique does not require isotopes, secondary antibodies or amplifications.
