The Next-Generation Sequencing Platform has been offering high-throughput sequencing services on an Illumina infrastructure since 2014. Over the years, it has acquired solid expertise in a wide range of applications in genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics. See the details of the services offered in the Our Services section.

The Sequencing Infrastructure is built on Illumina technology which remains the most widely adopted sequencing technology worldwide. The platform is notably equipped with a NovaSeq X delivering exceptionally high sequencing throughput (up to 26 muilliards paired-end reads per flowcell per sequencing run) while maintaining a very low cost per base. It also includes lower-throughput sequencing instruments such as the Miseq i100 providing flexibility for projects of varying scales. The platform is further enhanced by a Biomek FXP automated workstation which supports a wide range of sequencing-related services, including several automated library preparation workflows for various applications. Additional equipment includes a high-performance Covaris ultrasonicateur and state-of-the-art quality control instruments, such as the Tapestation 4200 and Qubit 3.0.

Our sequencing infrastructure is a versatile next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform capable of supporting genomics projects of any scale, from a few samples to several thousand. We also offer sequencing services for customer-prepared libraries, as well as sample and library quality control services.
