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 Illumina NovaSeq system specifications for more details.
