Technologies
Illumina Short Read Sequencing
VIB Nucleomics Core offers Illumina Next Generation Sequencing platforms, with great flexibility in running both small and large scale projects within a reasonable time.
Element Bio Short Read Sequencing
VIB Nucleomics Core offers short read sequencing on the AVITI system of Element Bio.
MGI Short Read Sequencing
MGI Sequencing on the DNBSEQ G400 can be perfomed at the VIB Nucleomics Core.
PacBio Long Read Sequencing
The Pacific Biosciences Sequel (PacBio Sequel IIe) allows sequencing of very long DNA molecules up to 70kb or more (average generally in the 6-15kb range).
Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) Long Read Sequencing
The Oxford Nanopore technology offers long-read direct DNA/RNA sequencing with read lengths up to 2 Mb long.
Our GridION X5 system allows up to five MinION Flow Cells to be run concurrently or individually and generates up to 150 Gb of data that is analysed in real time.
The PromethION 2 Solo is a small benchtop device designed to run up to two PromethION flow cells. Each flow cell is independently addressable, meaning that experiments can be run concurrently or individually. The PromethION 2 Solo plugs into a GridION Mk1 or user compute for real-time data streaming and analysis.
