BioMicroCenter:Singular Sequencing

Singular Sequencing

The Center currently hosts a G4 platform by Singular Genomics. Singular’s G4 platform is a short-read mid-throughput sequencing platform delivering adequate sequencing data through its proprietary sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry at a significantly competitive price point.

Compared to a typical Illumina library, a Singular index 1 would be the reverse compliment of the i5 index, whereas index 2 would be the reverse compliment of the i7 index.

Minimum reads per lane are guaranteed if:

• the BMC has performed quality control,
• the samples are high-complexity, especially for the first 10 nt of read 1, and
• submitted libraries are at least 2 nM.

Lane-by-lane Requirements

• Must be 50 or 150 paired-end dual indexed
• Pool must be compatible with TruSeq, Nextera, TruSeq, smRNA and Solexa sequencing primers

All other requests require a full flowcell. Illumina libraries which have been converted in the Center will also require a full flowcell.

• Min custom primer submission: 20 uL at 100 uM
