The genomics lab houses an Illumina MiSeq NGS sequencer suitable for various genomic and functional genomic applications. Various auxiliary equipment are also available.

MiSeq bench-top sequencers allow the longest sequencing read lengths (2x300 nucleotides) among the market leading Illumina sequencers. MiSeq supports paired-end sequencing; the maximum output per sequencing run is 15 Gb. Sequencing parameters, such as sequencing depth and read length can be set in wide ranges (1M - 25M sequencing reads per run and 2x50 - 2x300 nucleotides per read, respectively) by selecting suitable flow cells and reagent cartridges.

MiSeq is suitable for several genomic and functional genomic applications, such as:

• de novo bacterial genome sequencing
• targeted re-sequencing
• metagenomics (16S amplicon sequencing)
• SNP analysis
• RNA-sequencing / transcriptomics
• miRNA analysis
• ChIP-seq

Other auxiliary equipment in the lab:

• Covaris M220 ultrasonicator
• Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 capillary electrophoresis equipment
• Thermo Scientific PikoReal 96 and ABI 7500 real-time PCR systems
• Qubit 2.0 fluorometer
• NanoDrop spectrophotometer
• SciGene Hybex Microsample Incubator
• Biosan MPS-1 Multiplate shaker
• Biosan UVT-B-AR PCR cabinet
