The versatile Fusion Orbitrap Tribrid mass spectrometer accommodates a variety of analysis types. This instrument is used for everything from routine protein identification to post-translational modification identification and localization using one of its three fragmentation mechanisms (CID, HCD,and ETD). Its tribrid design also permits higher order tandem MS scans, meaning that we can make use of newer isobaric reagents such as iTRAQ and TMT for label-based protein quantitation in addition to more traditional methods such as SILAC. The facility also has a Advion TriVersa NanoMate robot to facilitate intact protein analyses using the Fusion.

This is the latest instrument from PacBio, it produces the longest reads with the highest accuracy versus previous PacBio instruments. It is the instrument of choice for assembly of complex genomes, metagenomes, genome resequencing with long reads, full-length 16S and other amplicons and full-length transcriptomes (IsoSeq). One REVIO Cell produces

Our local wiki instance, which has additional information about UIUC Galaxy and workshops.
This cutting-edge long-read sequencing instrument offers exciting new capabilities. Its applications span a wide range, including de novo genome assembly for both eukaryotic and prokaryotic species, the most cost-effective genome resequencing using long reads, sequencing of long amplicons including full-length 16S, and full-length mRNA sequencing from bulk or single-cell RNAseq samples. The standout advantage of the REVIO lies in its significantly reduced sequencing cost. Compared to the Sequel, it produces three times the data for the same cost, making it an best choice for researchers for their long-reads needs. We eagerly anticipate discussing how long-read sequencing can enhance your research endeavors. Feel free to reach out for further details! 😊

Chris Wright and Alvaro Hernandez loading the NovaSeq X Plus The NovaSeq X Plus is the latest and most advanced DNA sequencing instrument currently available, able to sequence up to 20 billion DNA fragments in just one day. To translate this to samples, the output is 6 Tb of genomic information, equivalent to 2,000 human genomes, 6,000 soybean genomes, or 1 million bacterial genomes! In addition, The X Plus system reduces current sequencing costs by up to **50%**, further enabling PIs to extend their funding into new or more complex research, utilizing genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, single-cell multiomics, spatial transcriptomics and proteomics, and metagenomics at a significantly lower cost compared to any other sequencing technology.
