Illumina NovaSeq X Plus and 6000

The NovaSeq X Plus is the latest instrument from Illumina for ultra-high throughput sequencing of genomic DNA, RNA-Seq, DNA methylation, targeted sequencing, and many other samples that need high sequencing depth at the lowest possible cost.

The NovaSeq 6000 performs 2x250nt runs, which are still not available in the NovaSeq X Plus.

PacBio REVIO

This is the latest instrument from PacBio, it produces the longest reads with the highest accuracy of all long-reads. 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

  • up to 120 Gbases of HiFi error-corrected reads with fragments 10-30kb
  • up to 13 million error-corrected single long reads.
  • up to 100 million concatenated 16S, full-length cDNA, or amplicon reads.

Illumina MiSeq i100 and MiSeq

 For sequencing libraries from amplicons (ie: 16S, 18S, ITS, other), genomic DNA, microbial DNA, etc.

  • The new MiSeq i100 has two kits, the 5M (5 million read-pairs) and the 25M (25 million read-pairs)
  • The read-lengths of the MiSeq i100 are up to 300bp from each side of the DNA fragments
  • MiSeq V2 Nano run produces 500k to 2 million paired-reads
  • MiSeq V2 bulk run produces 8 to 20 million paired-reads
  • MiSeq V3 run produces 10 to 40 million paired-reads

Oxford Nanopore GridION

Long sequencing reads from genomic DNA, RNA, cDNA, 16S or other amplicons.

  • One flowcell produces from 1 to 9 million reads depending on the type of sample.
  • Reads are typically from 5kb to 40kb and with some reads from HMW genomic DNA reaching up to 100kb.
  • Each flowcell runs one or multiple samples.

10x Genomics

The 10x Chromium X system produces libraries for 5′ or 3′ transcriptome sequencing from single-cells, ATAC-seq, and multiomics (RNAseq + ATACseq). Fixed probe-based libraries compatible with human/mouse samples are also available.

  • Libraries constructed on 10x are fully compatible with Illumina sequencing.
  • Single-cell libraries can be constructed from 500 to 20,000 cells per library.
  • Single-cell libraries are sequenced for 28x90nt or 28x150nt on the NovaSeq, with a minimum of 50k reads per cell recommended.
  • 10x Visium Spatial gene expression libraries are also available.
  • 10x Xenium in situ platform is also available in our sister Core, CMtO.

Fragment Analyzers and Femto Pulse

Qualitative analysis of gDNA, RNA, amplicons, or finished libraries using capillary electrophoresis.

  • RQN (RNA Quality Scores)
  • 12-, 48-, and 96-capillary instruments for best pricing depending on sample size/need.
  • QC can be performed typically with 24 hours.
