Next-Generation Sequencing Service—Illumina MiSeq

Introduction

TruSeq technology supports massively parallel sequencing using a proprietary reversible terminator-based method that enables detection of single bases as they are incorporated into growing DNA strands. A fluorescently-labeled terminator is imaged as each dNTP is added and then cleaved to allow incorporation of the next base. Since all four reversible terminator-bound dNTPs are present during each sequencing cycle, natural competition minimizes incorporation bias. The end result is true base-by-base sequencing that enables the industry's most accurate data for a broad range of applications.

Summary

MiSeq is a small-scale benchtop sequencer. This instrument is compatible with any of the Illumina libraries described above. MiSeq produces reads up to 300 bases in length from a paired-end read run (2×300 b) with a yield of ~10 Gb. This capability is primarily useful for sequencing microbial genomes and amplicons.

CD Genomics, as a specialist sequencing company, has a large range of sequencers in our NGS Core, including Illumina MiSeq, NovaSeq, PacBio, and more. If you require this service, please contact us directly.
