The introduction of DNA sequencing instruments capable of producing millions of DNA sequence reads in a single run has profoundly altered the landscape of genetics and cancer biology. Complex questions can now be answered at previously unthinkable speeds and a fraction of their former cost. At the Sequencing Facility, NCI researchers are provided access to the latest technologies, with consultation and Q&A services available throughout the design and execution of sequencing projects.
llumina Sequencing Platforms
Sequencing utilizes reversible terminator chemistry optimized to achieve high levels of cost effectiveness and throughput
Millions of reads produced per sample lane at 50 bp to 300 bp read lengths
Support for the multiplexing of bar-coded samples into a single lane
Available resources include two NextSeq 500, two Nextseq 2000, two NovaSeq 6000, two MiSeq sequencer and two iSeq 100 sequencers
