Next Generation Sequencing

Using Illumina's High-Throughput Sequencing platforms

Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been the ultimate technology for receiving high-throughput genomic data, replacing traditional sequencing methods such as, Sanger sequencing, microarrays, etc. NGS gives high-output and accurate results, with fast turnaround time, applicable to various biological studies. 

 

The Genomics Research Unit (TAU-GRU) has two benchtop sequencers utilizing Illumina's advanced sequencing technology, available for all TAU researchers: 

The MiSeq System

The NextSeq 500 System
