Notice Title
Genotyping Services
Notice Description
The GEN-CKD study (Genetic Variation on kidney function, diabetes), based at the MRC/UVRI & LSHTM Unit in Uganda, requires genotyping services. The genotyping services will be carried out through the H3Africa array held by CPGR (Centre for Proteomic & Genomic Research) in south Africa.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Genotyping provides a comprehensive view of the genome and able to detects single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and other variations across the genome as well as identify potential causative disease variants for further targeted studies. 8,024 Samples are to be genotyped on the illumine-H3Africa Consortium Array v2, which was specially designed to enable identification of genetic associations with common and rare traits among African populations. Additional information: This procurement is being managed by the MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit.
Procurement Information
The Centre for Proteomic and Genomic Research in South Africa as most suitable to provide the services. They are uniquely the only facility that can genotype using the required H3Africa array which they co-developed specially for African researchers with Illumina (equipment manufacturer). Genotyping to be done against the H3 Africa Array (chip). This array was specifically designed by a consortium of African research organisations and experts, to establish a reference panel that is more representative of African genomic variation. More on the H3Africa consortium and the array here: (https://h3africa.org/index.php/2019/12/12/h3africa-chip-faq/) The H3Africa consortium selected the Life science equipment manufacturer, Illumina, to develop a chip with the array, into their array scanner: https://www.h3abionet.org/h3africa-chip https://h3africa.org/index.php/2019/12/12/h3africa-chip-faq/ Illumina provided their iscan system with the H3Africa chip and selected the non-profit CPGR as the lab where this would be placed for consortium members and genetic researchers throughout Africa to genotype samples against the chip's reference panel: https://h3africa.org/index.php/2019/12/12/h3africa-chip-faq/ https://www.cpgr.org.za/south-africas-centre-for-proteomic-genomic-research-cpgr-launches-iscan-platform-in-support-of-h3africa-and-genomics-research-in-africa/ CPGR have the only instrument running the specific H3 Africa chip. Based on all the above, we believe there would be no benefit to running an open competitive selection process as the requirements are restrictive and can only be fulfilled by one lab.
