New technology at the center – Illumina NovaSeq 6000
Scalability for sequencing like never before We are excited to share that we added a NovaSeq 6000 machine to the list of sequencers at the Genome Center. We can now sequence up to 16-20 billion ! (= 16,000-20,000 million) paired-end reads in a single run. This corresponds to 48 human genomes at a coverage of 30X; see the…

New technology at the center – Bionano
Bionano as a new complementary technology added to the Genome Center’s technological portfolio. The Saphyr system from Bionano is up and running since December 2018. It allows the generation of optical maps for high quality genome assemblies and the sensitive and specific detection of structural variants in genomes. This technology was possible due to the DFG funded NGS-competence…
