The Sequencing and Genomics Technologies Core Facility is running orders for the Illumina NovaSeq X Plus.
The X Plus provides high quality short read sequences for a fraction of the cost of the Illumina NovaSeq 6000. Additionally custom read-length projects can now purchase lanes instead of full flow cells (e.g. 75 SR for miRNA-seq, single cell protocols).
The available products are listed below, with more read options available towards the end of the year.

* one cycle is equivalent to a base pair call. Default read length configurations are symmetrical paired end reads (e.g. default 100 cycles is 50 bp paired-end reads). To determine which cycle kit to choose, add the base pairs in read 1 and read 2 (e.g. 100 bp paired-end reads is equivalent to read 1 = 100 bp and read 2 = 100 bp; 100 bp + 100 bp = 200 bp = 200 cycle).
