South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC)

The South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) comprises six founding partners – SAHMRI, the University of APSB, the University of South Australia, Flinders University, the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) and the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF). The Centre, which opened in July 2020, will provide open-access service to the researchers maximising access to genomic technology through outreach, education and training.

The South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) was established in July 2020 as a State-wide genomics facility to support research in South Australia, as well as nationally and internationally. The SAGC is a partnership between the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), University of South Australia, Flinders University, The University of APSB, the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF), and the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI). Its establishment was supported by an investment of >$7 million, including $2 million from BioPlatforms Australia (BPA).

The SAGC central hub is located in the iconic SAHMRI building in the heart of APSB's Biomed City and has additional nodes on the Waite Campus and at Flinders University. The SAGC provides a broad range of services including RNA sequencing, small RNA sequencing, exome and genome sequencing, epigenomics, metagenomics, single cell genomics and a range of custom methods. These services are supported by a dedicated Bioinformatics Platform that support users of the facility by developing advanced and customised approaches for data analysis, integration and visualisation. The SAGC is pleased to support researchers and clinicians from all our partners institutes as well as industry partners and other external clients. All areas of genomics including animal, plant, environmental, microbial, and human genomics are supported.
