Illumina Sequencing Platform

The Illumina sequencing platform is used for a variety of genomics/transcriptomics and epigenomics studies. The system utilises reversible terminator chemistry, to deliver high levels of accuracy, cost effectiveness and throughput. Users include research centres, pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, clinical research organisations and biotechnology companies.

Applications

The platform supports a diverse range of applications including RNA-Seq, digital gene expression, whole genome and candidate region sequencing, DNA-protein interaction profiling and small RNA identification.

Expertise & Services

We provide a range of technical services and expertise in this area including:

• Discussions surrounding, suitability of the platform, experimental design and strategy
• Advice on sample preparation and provision of protocols
• Sample QC, library preparation, cluster generation and sequencing
• Preliminary data analysis to generate aligned sequence, if genome is known
• Provision of FASTA Q and/or other data files for further analysis
• Downstream bioinformatics analysis, on request
