High throughput whole genome sequencing

Currently, genomes, independent of their size, can be sequenced at high coverage using high throughput DNA sequencers.

For WG re-sequencing projects, typically small insert libraries are sequenced at high coverage on an Illumina NextSeq500 or NovaSeq6000 sequencer.

For WG de novo assemblies, small insert libraries are typically combined with long reads obtained on an Oxford Nanopore device.

Both types of project are offered as a service by the Genomics platform.
