Library Construction & Sequencing: Next Generation Sequencing
The Northwest Genomics Center (NWGC) utilizes Illumina sequencing instruments, which employ sequencing-by-synthesis technology. This method of sequencing allows for massively parallel sequencing to take place in an efficient and cost effective manner.
The NWGC currently operates the following platforms:
- NovaSeq X Plus featuring XLEAP-SBS chemistry
- NovaSeq 6000s featuring patterned flow cells
- NextSeq500
- MiSeqs
Please see our Sequencing Platforms page for more information on run types available.
