Short-read sequencing

We are skilled in delivering high-quality next-generation sequencing data from RNA and DNA samples, using Illumina NovaSeq and MiSeq platforms.

The NovaSeq is capable of generating many tens of gigabases per day while the MiSeq is more suitable for small sequencing projects.

Long-read sequencing

The facility operates the PacBio Revio and the Oxford Nanopore PromethION for long read sequencing. These instruments are the gold standard for generating DNA and RNA sequence with longer read length and high accuracy for genome and transcriptome assembly and analysis.
