Microbiome/Sequencing Facility

Overview

The MiSeq desktop sequencer allows you to access more focused applications such as targeted gene sequencing, metagenomics, small genome sequencing, targeted gene expression, amplicon sequencing starting at 10 ng DNA, and HLA typing. New MiSeq reagents enable up to 15 Gb of output with 25 M sequencing reads and 2x300 bp read lengths.

• Highly targeted resequencing of regions
  Amplicon sequencing is a highly targeted approach for analyzing genetic variation in specific genomic regions. The ultra-deep sequencing of PCR products (amplicons) allows efficient variant identification and characterization. Illumina amplicon technology uses a pair of oligonucleotide probes designed to target and capture regions of interest, followed by next-generation sequencing (NGS).
