Description

NextSeq1000

scientist starting sequencing run on NextSeq 1k/2k

The Illumina NextSeq1000 enables flexible choices to handle many of your Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) needs. We have used these machines to sequence microbial metagenomes, transcriptomes and 16S taxonomic profiles from a variety of sources (soil, plants, animals, water, cultures). While we specialize in microbe sequencing in our Department, these instruments can be used for a wide array of sequencing projects. The Biotech Innovation Core is equipped with all of the ancillary equipment required to create, quantify and perform QA/QC on NGS libraries.
