MiSeq Small Genome Data
*Small whole-genome sequencing on the MiSeq System estimated cost per sample calculated 2016, based on 5 Mb genome, 50-100X coverage, 2 x 300 bp read length, Nextera XT Library Prep Kit, MiSeq Reagent v3 600-cycle kit
Targeted resequencing focuses time, expenses, and analysis on sequencing only a subset of genes or genome regions of research interest. Amplicon sequencing, the ultra-deep sequencing of PCR amplicons, enables cost-effective analysis of up to hundreds of target genomic regions in one assay. Sequence up to 96 samples and 1536 amplicons or more in a single MiSeq run.
5-7 hours
A highly multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based workflow for use with targets ranging from a few to hundreds of genes in a single run.
17-32 hours
MiSeq sequencing reagents in pre-filled, ready-to-use cartridges. Micro and nano formats are available for low output applications.
3 hours
An on-premises software solution for creating sequencing runs, monitoring run status, and analyzing data.
The Illumina genomics cloud computing environment for NGS data analysis and management.
Enables researchers to rapidly identify biologically significant variants from human genomic data.
Sequencing the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene is a culture-free method to identify and compare bacteria from complex microbiomes or environments that are difficult to study. Our demonstrated protocol for 16S rRNA sequencing can help take the guess work out of your experiments. Multiplexing lets you sequence up to 96 samples per MiSeq run.
