The German Research Foundation (DFG) now offers a funding scheme for the high-cost sequencing projects
from 100.000 € up to 1 Mio. €
through its standard research programs. Scientists planning such projects must collaborate with a DFG-compliant genomic facility that can support the proposal both scientifically and administratively.
The West German Genome Center (WGGC) is ready to serve as your qualified genomic facility partner. We offer transparent cost structures, public user access policies, and deep expertise in all state-of-the-art sequencing technologies. On this page, you’ll find step-by-step guidance to ensure a successful DFG co-application under the current framework. Contact us at kontakt@wggc.de – we’re interested in supporting you with your research!

– Any German academic sequencing center that:
The Genomics Facility of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Clinical Research (IZKF) in Aachen supports sequencing projects for the WGGC, offering both long- and short-read sequencing solutions. They utilize Illumina platforms and Oxford Nanopore technologies while aiming to increase the single-cell sequencing portfolio. With extensive expertise in bioinformatics, they provide comprehensive support for data analysis and interpretation.
The “Platform foR SinglE Cell GenomIcS and Epigenomics” PRECISE is a joint venture between the University of Bonn and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn. PRECISE is dedicated to advancing single-cell multi-omics research through cutting-edge tools and technologies. Our mission is to develop, integrate, and rigorously test innovative methods that are faster, more affordable and highly sensitive.
This commitment allows us to provide, next to highly standardized workflows for bulk RNA-Seq, advanced solutions for single-cell RNA sequencing, including the groundbreaking Flash-Seq approach, high-throughput systems such as BD Rhapsody and 10X Genomics or single cell long reads RNA-Seq. Over the last year, PRECISE has also established a new area of competence in the field of spatial transcriptomics implementing state-of-the-art solutions like Slide-Seq or the Xenium In Situ platform from 10X.
