Fasteris Information

DNA sequencing service provider based in Geneva, Switzerland. One of the longest experience in illumina Next-Generation DNA sequencing (NGS): L. Farinelli is co-inventor of DNA clusters (1996) and Fasteris was the first service provider in the world to acquire an illumina (then Solexa) sequencer in 2006. The company now uses PacBio Sequel IIe, illumina MiSeq, NextSeq and NovaSeq as well as ThermoFisher's Ion S5. Since 2007, Fasteris developed a broad range of applications to analyze genomes and transcriptomes, from library preparation to bioinformatics analyses: - whole genome sequencing, de novo assembly; - targeted re-sequencing and exomes; - transcriptomes: ISO-seq and stranded RNA protocols; - small RNAs; - ChIP-SEQ to study protein-DNA binding sites; - metagenomics: metabarcoding and full length 16S rRNA; - short and long amplicons sequencing; - custom projects such as Trypanosoma splice leader, phage display, etc.. Genesupport SA, for Life Sciences Fasteris NGS services, provides ISO-17025 services for research laboratories, from small-scale projects to thousands of samples using automated protocols. We produced many thousands of NGS analyses under medical diagnostics conditions and ISO15189 accreditation. In 2013, Fasteris joined the Medisupport and in 2015 Medisupport joined Sonic Healthcare. In 2020 Fasteris merged with Medisupport Genetics labs to create Genesupport SA. Fasteris is the brand for Life Sciences, while Genesupport is used for Medical Genetics. Fasteris is co-author of tens of publications and cited in hundreds, see our website.
