The equipments of the GENOM'IC facility

High throughput sequencers

A NextSeq™ 500 System and a MiSeq™ from Illumina

Illumina sequencers use sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry to identify the sequence of clusters (amplified fragments) directly on the sequencing medium (flow cell).

The NextSeq 500 System is a benchtop sequencer capable of generating 20 to 120 Gb of data in a single run, providing flexibility across a wide range of applications. Read lengths range from 75 to 300 bases.
The MiSeq System is a benchtop sequencer for targeted sequencing, small genome, metagenomics and other applications. It can generate between 0.5 and 15 Gb of data per run. Read lengths range from 36 to 600 bases.
