We just received our second NovaSeq 6000. The addition of this instrument, the latest technology from Illumina, will ensure the fastest possible turnaround time. A section of our museum of obsolete technology with a HiSeq 4000, a HiSeq 2500, a cBot, and a Neoprep (yayy). In total, it has over $2M in equipment, some only […]

We showcased the University of Illinois NGS capabilities.

Description: The DNA Services lab is hosting a lunch seminar on the exciting applications of single cell genomics!  We hope you can join us for an informative seminar on single cell RNA sequencing, including new single-cell applications of Immune Profiling and ATAC-Seq.  Please register (see link below) so that we can ensure seating and pizza

Our NovaSeq 6000 has been installed and it is producing GREAT data. Each lane produces ~ 5 billion reads 150nt in length (2.5 billion clusters sequenced from both ends) with amazing quality scores. This is a cost effective system for projects that require high depth or that have a large number of samples. It has an output

We received the GridION (Oxford Nanopore)! Let us know if you have any project for direct RNA sequencing, de novo assembly of microbial and larger genomes, sequencing of full length 16S or ITS or other projects that can benefit from very long sequence reads (up to 120kb) and single-molecule sequencing.
