Illumina sequencing
Coming soon: we will offer services (2x150bp lanes) on NovaSeq6000 and NovaSeq X instruments. These sequencing runs will be sent out to external providers but supported by the Genomics Facility (including local ordering/sample drop-off, QC checks and data management/distribution/archive), and without the need to acquire a quote/PO outside Cornell. Stay tuned for more details coming in mid-February.
General Information
- Custom sequencing options: We support both custom primers and custom read lengths on all instruments. The number of basepairs listed in the tables below reflect the combined read length per flowcell (kit), and can be configured as single-end or paired-end reads of custom lengths. Contact us prior to placing an order to inquire about customizing your sequencing run.
- Quality checks: We will assess the concentration and size distribution of your Illumina samples prior to sequencing, and ask you to approve the results before we continue with sequencing. If we observe any problems with sample quality (such as excess primers or adapter dimer peaks), we may recommend additional cleanup steps before sequencing (fees may apply). Samples that do not pass the quality checks will be charged for QC only if sequencing is cancelled.
- We are available to consult on Illumina sequencing options! Please use the ‘Ask a question’ button at the top of the page to send us an email, or sign up for office hours with an expert.
Instrument Information
This tables below show nominal read lengths. Different length runs can be performed, depending on the type of sample/indexing used. Contact us prior to placing an order to discuss options.
* Values given for single-end reads. Paired-end mode would generate twice as many reads.
MiSeq
The MiSeq is a 4-color sequencer ideal for sequencing amplicons or other low complexity samples and for lower output projects
| Kit | Reads passing filter* (M/flowcell) | Pass filter output (Gbp/run) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 bp (v2) | 12-15 | 0.6-0.75 |
| 300 bp (v2) | 12-15 | 3.6-4.5 |
| 500 bp (v2) | 12-15 | 7.2-9 |
| 150 bp (v3) | 22-25 | 3.3-3.75 |
| 600 bp (v3) | 22-25 | 13-15 |
| 300 bp (nano) | 1 | 0.3 |
| 500 bp (nano) | 1 | 0.5 |
| 300 bp (micro) | 4 | 1.2 |
NextSeq 500/550
The NextSeq500 is a 2-color sequencer ideal for larger projects with complex libraries. The NextSeqs require the addition of higher amounts of PhiX to enable sequencing of libraries containing low-complexity inserts or read segments.
| Kit | Reads passing filter* (M/flowcell) | Pass filter output (Gbp/flowcell) |
|---|---|---|
| 75 bp (High-output) | 333-400 | 25-30 |
| 150 bp (High-output) | 333-400 | 50-60 |
| 300 bp (High-output) | 333-400 | 100-120 |
| 150 bp (Mid-output) | 130-200 | 19-30 |
| 300 bp (Mid-output) | 130-200 | 38-60 |
NextSeq 2000
The NextSeq2000 is a 2-color sequencer that uses a patterned flowcell and Illumina’s ExAmp clustering chemistry. Due to the higher frequency of ‘index hopping’ on patterned flowcells, we highly recommend the use of unique dual indices (UDIs) for sample barcoding on this instrument. The P3 flowcell offers the highest output on the NextSeq 2000.
| Kit | Reads passing filter* (M/flowcell) | Pass filter output (Gbp/flowcell) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 bp (P1) | 100 | 10 |
| 300 bp (P1) | 100 | 30 |
| 600 bp (P1) | 100 | 60 |
| 100 bp (P2) | 400 | 40 |
| 200 bp (P2) | 400 | 80 |
| 300 bp (P2) | 400 | 120 |
| 50 bp (P3) | 1100 | 55 |
| 100 bp (P3) | 1100 | 110 |
| 200 bp (P3) | 1100 | 220 |
| 300 bp (P3) | 1100 | 330 |
Sample Preparation, Quality Control and Shipping
If the QC results for the samples indicate poor quality and sequencing is not recommended, we will not process your samples. You will be charged only for the QC, not the sequencing of samples that are likely to fail.
