Sequencing Core launches Illumina X Plus sequencer
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.
