FuGU's Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencer can be be used for medium scale Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) projects including:
The NextSeq 500 is frequently used by laboratories which make there own sequencing libraries but need access to a medium-scale sequencer.
For larger scale sequencing projects, sequening libraries can be made at FuGU and then sequenced on the NovaSeq 6000 sequencer which is located at FIMM which is one of our HGI partner labs.
FuGU's Illumina MiSeq FGx can be used for both normal Illumina sequencing projects and for Verogen's forensic "Forenseq" sequencing for human identity testing. The sequencer is also availabe for use for research labs outside of FuGU.
Total reads from a MiSeq run range from 1M (Nano) to 25M (V3). The MiSeq V3 600 cycle flow cell can produce up to 2x300bp reads.
Examples of projects run at FuGU:
